Battery Replacement
When the battery icon appears on the LCD, the batteries must be replaced. Several hours of test
time are possible from when the battery symbol first appears but when critical data is at stake
it’s always best to start with a fresh set of batteries.
1.
Remove the two Philips screws (above the tilt stand) on the rear of the meter.
2.
Carefully open the battery compartment to access the batteries.
3.
Remove the existing batteries and replace with six (6) fresh 1.5V AA batteries observing
proper polarity.
4.
Close the compartment and secure with the two screws before attempting to use the
meter.
5.
Note that the time and date must be reset when the batteries are replaced (see the SETUP
Mode section of this user guide).
