on the display constantly shows the battery charge status. To the extent that batteries have
discharged, the symbol “empties”. When the charge decreases still further it starts blinking.
In this case, batteries should be replaced as soon as possible.
If you continue to use it, the instrument can no longer ensure correct measurement. The memory
data are maintained.
If the battery charge level is insufficient, the following message appears when you turn the
instrument on:
