Mobile use with 12 volt battery

CAUTION
!
Only batteries or DC power supply units with mains
isolation (for example, according to VDE 0551) may be
connected. If this is not ensured, there is a risk of
damaging the instrument.
For battery operation (vehicle connection (12V DC)) the
instrument requires a direct voltage of at least 10.5V DC.
When the input voltage is too low, the instrument is switched
off. This prevents deep discharge of the supply battery (e.g.
vehicle battery).

2. Connect the 12V connection cable (see fold-out, 12) and
secure it.
3. Plug the connector of the 12V connection cable into the
12V socket of the vehicle or the cigarette lighter socket
(with adaptor).
4. Move the mains switch on the 12 V connection cable to "I".
The instrument starts-up with the warm-up period.
