lithium batteries. Before using the meter, check the battery
compartment and insert batteries if empty.

in use, the batteries should be replaced as soon as possible. The
test results may not be saved if the batteries run out completely.

cover in the direction of the arrow to open
the battery compartment.

batteries with the + side facing up and make
sure the batteries are inserted firmly.

compartment. Push down until you hear the
