Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your T3596, remove the protective film from the display and ensure the battery compartment is secure. Before any critical measurement, ensure the jaws are clean; wipe them with a dry, lint-free cloth to remove any debris that could affect the accuracy. Always zero the display by closing the jaws completely and pressing the zero button before taking a measurement. When not in use, store the tool in its included ABS storage case to prevent impact damage or accidental battery drain. Avoid dropping the caliper, as significant shock can affect the calibration of the sensor.
