   • Buttuna firxa: Manually selects measurement range.
   • Buttuna UNIT: Toggles between Lux and Foot-Candle units.
   • buttuna ŻOMM: Jiffriża l-qari attwali fuq id-displej.
   • Buttuna PEAK: Captures and displays the maximum light intensity.
   • REL (Relative) button: Sets the current reading as a reference for subsequent measurements.
4. Kompartiment tal-batterija: Located on the rear of the device, holds the required batteries.

6. Setup

6.1 Installazzjoni tal-batterija

1. Locate the battery compartment cover on the back of the device (refer to Figure 5.1).
2. Slide or unscrew the cover to open the compartment.
3. Daħħal il-batteriji AA meħtieġa, waqt li tiżgura l-polarità korretta (+/-).
4. Ibdel l-għatu tal-kompartiment tal-batterija b'mod sikur.

6.2 Tixgħel Inizjali

1. Agħfas il- QAWWA button to turn on the light meter.
2. The LCD display will illuminate and show a brief self-test before displaying a reading.
3. Ensure the protective cover is removed from the light sensor before taking measurements.

7. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

7.1 Teħid ta 'Kejl

1. Ixgħel l-apparat billi tuża l- QAWWA buttuna.
2. Remove the protective cap from the light sensor.
3. Position the light sensor at the desired measurement point, ensuring it faces the light source directly.
4. Read the illuminance value on the LCD display. The measurement rate is approximately 1.5 times per second.

7.2 Unit Selection (Lux/FC)

Agħfas il- UNITÀ button to toggle between Lux (lx) and Foot-Candle (FC) measurement units. The selected unit will be indicated on the display.

7.3 Funzjoni ta' Żamma tad-Data

Agħfas il- ŻOMM button to freeze the current reading on the display. Press it again to release the hold and resume live measurements.

7.4 Peak Hold Function

Agħfas il- PEAK button to capture and display the maximum light intensity detected since the function was activated. This is useful for measuring transient light peaks. Press it again to exit Peak Hold mode.

7.5 Modalità Relattiva

Agħfas il- REL button to enter Relative mode. The current reading will be stored as a reference value, and subsequent measurements will be displayed as the difference from this reference. Press REL again to exit Relative mode.

7.6 Għażla tal-Medda

The device typically operates in auto-ranging mode. However, you can manually select a measurement range by pressing the GANJA button. Cycle through available ranges as needed. To return to auto-ranging, press and hold the GANJA buttuna.

7.7 Tifi Awtomatiku

The DT-1308 features an automatic power-off function to conserve battery life. If no buttons are pressed for a certain period (typically 10-15 minutes), the device will automatically shut down. Press the QAWWA buttuna biex terġa 'tixgħel.

8. Manutenzjoni

8.1 Tindif

Wipe the device and sensor with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents, as they may damage the casing or sensor. Keep the light sensor clean and free from dust or smudges for accurate readings.

8.2 Ħażna

When not in use, store the light meter in its protective pouch in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Ensure the protective cap is on the light sensor.
