Initial operation

Inserting the batteries
Before the initial operation of this meter, you must first install a new
9V block battery. Battery installation is described in the „Mainte-
nance and Cleaning" section.

Device Functions

The sound level detector has various extra functions that ease oper-
ation and handling and which extend its range of application.
These extra functions are:
Auto power OFF function
In order to avoid that the operating life of the battery is shortened
unnecessarily, an automatic switch-off function has been imple-
mented. The device will be automatically switched off if no button is
pressed within a period of about 8 minutes. You can switch the
device back on with the „Power" button.
HOLD function
The measured value currently being displayed is held in the display.
The active function is shown in the display by „HOLD".
SL-100:
Press the „HOLD" button to activate this function. Press again to
switch back to the continuous measuring mode
SL-200:

switch off, also press this switch for about 2 seconds.

Do not leave flat batteries in the meter. Even batteries
protected against leaking can corrode and thus release
chemicals which may be detrimental to your health or
damage the appliance.
Remove the batteries if the device is not used for longer periods of
time to prevent leaking.
Leaking or damaged batteries may cause alkali burns if in contact
with skin. It is therefore advisable to use suitable protective gloves.
Make sure that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not throw
batteries into the fire.
Batteries should not be recharged. Danger of explosion.
