Set Mode can calibrate / zero the tool to
a Preset Reference Value (see Reference
Mode), and to change the units-of-measure.
To change between Modes:
Press and Hold MODE
Note: If measurements are to be taken
from this mode, the Hold function is not
available, and when the SET key (also
used as ZERO and HOLD) is pressed, the
display will be zeroed to the REF I or II
preset value.
To enter the Set Mode:
Press and Hold MODE until INCH/MM and
SET appears
To change between MM / INCH:

Used to calibrate the gage to a preset
value, provided REF I or REF II preset
values have been set (See Entering Preset
Reference Values). NOTE: The recalled
value depends on the REF MODE the tool
is in.
To enter MIN / MAX MODE:
Press and Hold MODE until MIN MAX and
SET appears
(Ex. REF I = 0.0000 / Zero,
REF II = .74990 / Gage Master)
