POWER button while wrench is on a stable surface with no torque applied. Turn On Wrench. While holding wrench still, monetarily press POWER button. Snap-on logo will be displayed followed by torque and angle re-zeroing screens (if angle mode has been previously selected). If real-time- clock has not been set, date and time entry screens are displayed (see Advanced Configuration section for entering date and time).
Note: When date and time is set for first time, In-Service date is also set and is used for calculating initial calibration interval (see "Setting Calibration Interval" in Advanced Configuration section). Note: If wrench is powered up in torque only measurement mode, angle is not zeroed until mode is changed to angle measurement mode, at which time torque and angle zeroing begins automatically after 2 seconds.

Torque and Angle Mode Cycle Counting Numerical counter located in top right of target torque or target angle screen will increment after each torque or angle cycle if applied torque or angle has reached target value. When toggling between torque mode or angle mode using ENTER button or if target is changed, numerical counter will reset back to 00.

Torque AND Angle Mode Torque AND Angle mode is setup by first setting a target torque and units then a target angle before selecting Torque AND Angle mode. In Torque AND Angle mode, torque and angle are measured simultaneously. Yellow progress lights track torque measurement.
Note: If LOCK is selected without a Preset configured, following screen is displayed: NO PRESETS PRESS TO CONT. Note: When Preset Lock is enabled, Clear Memory function is disabled and displays following Locked message if attempted: LOCKED PRESS TO CONT. Note: When Preset Lock is enabled, Clear Cycle count function is disabled and displays Locked message if attempted.
Job Mode Job Mode function allows user to enable or disable wrench preset Job mode. When in Job mode, wrench executes presets in order configured and automatically switches to next preset when batch count reaches zero. Wrench is locked and Preset lock icon is displayed when Job mode is enabled. Note: Password entry is required to enable Job Mode.

Troubleshooting Note: If any of following issues persist, return wrench to an authorized Snap-on repair center. Issue Possible Cause Resolution Wrench does not turn on when Dead/No batteries Replace batteries POWER button pressed. Software glitch Cycle power using end-cap Torque reading out of spec.
Clean wrench by wiping with a damp cloth. DO NOT use solvents, thinners or carburetor cleaners. DO NOT immerse in anything. Service and repairs are to be done by Snap-on Service Centers only. Contact your Snap-on Tools representative. Ratchet head repair kits can be ordered from a Snap-on Representative.
Battery Replacement Note: When replacing batteries, real-time-clock will maintain date and time for 20 minutes. Note: Turn End Cap clockwise to unscrew. Replace 240 models with three "AAA" cells only. Batteries should be installed in carrier prior to carrier installation into wrench. Battery negative contacts should be oriented with carrier springs.
