4.3. Voice Broadcast and Mute Mode
The monitor features a clear voice broadcast function that guides you through the measurement process and announces the results. This is particularly helpful for users with visual impairments.
To enable or disable the voice broadcast (mute mode), refer to the specific instructions in your User Manual. This allows for discreet measurements when preferred.
