What position should the Function knob be set to before connecting the battery?

  1. On

  2. Off

  3. Standby

  4. Charge

The correct answer is: Off

The Function knob should be set to the Off position before connecting the battery to ensure safety and prevent any potential damage to the device. Setting the knob to Off minimizes the risk of accidental activation of the device's functions, which could lead to electrical shorts or other issues while connecting the power source. It establishes a safe environment for both the equipment and the operator by ensuring that the device is not powered on during the battery connection process. This procedure is standard practice in many technical and electronic operations to maintain the integrity of the equipment and ensure user safety.
