Battery replacement must only take place in a
safe area and using the battery types specified
in this instruction manual.
To install or replace the
batteries, turn the unit off
and unscrew the 2 screws
located on the back of the
meter.
Remove the battery cover
and insert the new batteries
in the compartment while
paying attention to the po-
larity.
After the batteries have
been installed, close the
battery cover and tighten
the 2 screws.
BATTERY REPLACEMENT
All components have been selected to mini-
mize current drain without compromising func-
tionality.
In order to minimize the battery consumption,
the meter is equipped with an auto-off function
which switches the meter off after 5 minutes of
non-use.
The power source are 4 alkaline batteries (1.5V
AA) with an expected life of 60 hours, or 900
measurements.
To always grant accurate measurements, the
batteries are monitored to ensure that readings
are not taken when there is insufficient power.
A "LO BAT" indication will appear on the lower
right corner of the display when the batteries are
weak and require replacement. The instrument
can still perform approx. 50 measurements.
A "-BA-" indication will appear on the display
when the batteries are too weak to perform
reliable measurements. The message appears
for a few seconds, and then the meter will
automatically switch off. Batteries must be
immediately replaced.
