General
Power
3M
™
ESD Pro uses a 9V alkaline battery. Do not use any other type of battery.
If you are not using your 3M
™
ESD Pro for an extended period of time,
remove the battery from the unit in order to prevent damage caused by battery
leakage. Note: Not all batteries labeled similarly have the same performance.
Often an off-brand alkaline battery has only 50% to 60% of the capacity of
the leading brand-name battery.
Installing the Battery
Slide off the battery door at the back of 3M
™
ESD Pro and attach the 9V
battery to the battery clips. Observe the polarity of the battery. Re-install the
battery door.
Low-Battery Indicator
When battery voltage gets low (less than ~20% capacity remains), the low
battery indicator on the display appears. At this point it is a good idea to
install a new battery to assure optimal performance.
Turning 3M
™
ESD Pro On and Off
Move the actuator of the power slide switch to the right. The ESD event
counter should display a number of captured events, usually “0” at this point.
The events counter is reset when the power is turned off.
To turn the power off, move the actuator of power slide switch to the left. The
3M
™
ESD Pro has no automatic shut-off. Don’t forget to turn it off when not
in active use.
