3. You will now observe the display of the cur-
rent signal strength (“CURRENT” row) and its
peak level (“REFERENCE” row). The first time
this is done, these levels will be the same (al-

have a very slightly lower value, due to the
“damping” in the metering).

key to equalize the peak level
to the current signal strength.
5. To cancel the Field Strength Meter displays the
