Hi All,

I recently purchased a Siemens D2008 Level Meter (Pegelmesser) on eB*y
with the idea of trying out some VLF experiments.  However, despite the
unit showing full health in the photos, it has arrived and now only
displays the decimal point in the freq display.

Before I start any (possibly ugly and protracted) negotiations with the
vendor, is there anyone on this group with some knowledge of this unit?

Specifically:

1. Is there anything I need to do, apart from applying power, to get the
unit into an operational state?

2. Can anyone suggest what it means to have only the DP lit in the
frequency display?  Is this a fault condition?

3. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the operator / service
manual?

Thanks for your help.

Regards,
David Smith
