5.1 Basic Measurement

1. Power On: Move the sliding jaw to wake the caliper.

3. Selecting Units: Press the MODE button (or the button labeled "mm/IN" if present) to toggle between millimeters (mm) and inches (in) as needed.
4. Taking a Measurement:
   • External Measurement: Place the object between the external jaws.
   • Internal Measurement: Use the internal jaws to measure the inside diameter of a hole or groove.
   • Depth Measurement: Extend the depth rod into the feature to be measured.
   • Step Measurement: Use the step measuring faces at the end of the beam and sliding jaw.
5. Reading the Display: The measurement will be shown on the extra-large digital display.

5.2 Data Output

The caliper is equipped with data output capabilities. To utilize this feature, an optional data cable and compatible software (not included) are required. Refer to the documentation provided with the data cable for specific connection and software instructions.

6. Maintenance

6.1 Cleaning

• Regularly clean the measuring surfaces and the beam with a clean, dry, lint-free cloth.
• For stubborn dirt, a small amount of isopropyl alcohol on a cloth can be used, but avoid excessive moisture, especially near the display and electronic components.
• Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents that could damage the finish or electronic components.

6.2 Battery Replacement

The caliper uses a CR2032 lithium coin cell battery. When the battery is low, a low battery indicator may appear on the display, or the display may become dim/blank.

1. Locate the battery compartment cover, typically on the back of the display unit (refer to Figure 2.3 for visual guidance on the label).
2. Use a small screwdriver or coin to open the battery compartment.
3. Remove the old CR2032 battery.
4. Insert a new CR2032 battery with the positive (+) side facing up.
5. Replace the battery compartment cover securely.

6.3 Storage

• Store the caliper in its protective case when not in use to prevent damage.
• Keep the caliper in a dry environment, away from extreme temperatures and direct sunlight.
• Ensure the jaws are slightly open (not fully closed) during long-term storage to prevent stress on the measuring surfaces.
