General Tools and Instruments DLM112SD - Manual (Page 6)

SETUP
1. Choose the power source. Before using the DLM112SD, be sure it is powered by
fresh batteries or an optional 9VDC AC adapter plugged into the bottom jack on its
right side (callout 1-12).
To remove the battery compartment cover, remove the two screws holding it in place
(callout 1-14). Then install six “AA” batteries in the correct orientation, using the
polarity marks on the inside of the compartment as a guide. Replace the cover by
replacing the two screws.
2. Install an SD card. To prepare for setup, also install the supplied 2 GB SD memory
card or another card with a capacity from 1 GB to 16 GB in the socket on the
bottom of the DLM112SD (callout 1-9). When installing the card, make sure its gold
contacts are facing front and push the card into the socket until you hear a click.
To remove the card, push it in until you hear a click and the card pops out.
Now power on the instrument by pressing the POWER/ESC button (callout 1-2) to
generate a short beep. (To power off the DLM112SD, press the POWER/ESC button
and hold it until the instrument responds with a long beep.)
When the DLM112SD powers on, a series of transient startup screens will briefly
appear. Once the display has stabilized, perform the following series of eight setup
steps in the order presented.
3. Set the date and time. Press the SET ▼ button (callout 1-5) and hold it for at
least five seconds, until the word “dAtE” appears in the center of the display, along
with the flashing value “00.00.00” at the lower left, above “yy.mm.dd”.
(If you press buttons too slowly in setup mode, the screen will revert to the normal
display. To return to the setup sequence, press and hold the SET ▼ button again. To
move ahead to the next field in the sequence or to the next parameter, press the
FUNC./HOLD/NEXT button (callout 1-3).)
First set the current year by pressing the SET ▼ or LOGGER ▲ button repeatedly
until the correct value appears above “yy”. Press the REC/ENTER button to store the
setting. The next screen that appears will have the value above “mm” flashing. Use
the SET ▼ or LOGGER ▲ button to navigate to the current month and press the
REC/ENTER button to store the setting. When the next screen flashes the value above
“dd”, again use the SET ▼ or LOGGER ▲ button to navigate to the current day and
press the REC/ENTER button to store the setting.
Once you have set the date, the display will prompt you to set the hour, minute and
second of the current time. Again use the SET ▼ or LOGGER ▲ buttons to navigate
to the correct values, and the REC/ENTER button to store the settings.
