• The Seeker will retain the setup from when the meter was last shut off. For example, if
you were testing frequency preset number two and then turned off your Seeker, when
you turned it back on again the meter would automatically begin testing that same
preset.
• When turning on or changing modes on the Seeker, there is a ten (10) second delay for
the audible tone.
