Explanation of symbols:
Counter for the log number in the memory.
When saving manually: number of the measurement saved.
When saving automatically: number of the measurement series. This
counter is needed in order to be able to find single logs or a measurement
series when reading out the memory.
Counter for saving a measurement cycle (required only for automatic
saving). The measurement cycle in a measurement series can be found.

.
Automatic saving program has been set up.
Saving is activated by pressing the button.
Symbol for reading contents of memory on display.
Symbol for deleting memory contents.
If this symbol appears, the printing function is activated.
The symbol flashes while data is being transmitted. You can print on the
desktop printer by pressing the print button
.
Shows capacity of battery and rechargeable battery.
If the inner segment no longer appears (symbol flashes), the battery has to
be changed or the rechargeable battery has to be recharged. The
