Key usage (first and second function levels) The function keys and the context sensitive keys in certain modes have two function levels. A second function level is indicated by two cascading frames.
3 GETTING S TARTED P OWER S UPPLY Battery operation WARNING Dangers in handling batteries Handling batteries may be dangerous. Please note the following safety instructions. J Please note the battery operation safety information in the booklett “Saftey, Disposal and Environmental Protection”. Replacing the batteries J Do not replace individual batteries. Always change both batteries at the same time. J Always use batteries of the same type; i.e. do not mix rechargeable and non-rechargeable batteries.
3 GETTING S TARTED P OWER S UPPLY Protecting the environment Please dispose of any unwanted dry batteries and rechargeable batteries carefully. They should also be removed from the instrument if it is to be scrapped. If facilities in your country exist for collecting waste or for recycling, please make use of them rather than throwing the batteries in the normal trash.
