How to install batteries: "Installing Alkaline Batteries" (p. 17)
Handling the Cords and Cables
• Avoid stepping on or pinching cables, which could damage the cable insulation.
• To avoid instrument malfunction or damage due to broken connections, do not bend or
pull on the power cord or cables at their base.
Using the Batteries
• To avoid electric shock, turn off the POWER switch and disconnect the AC adapter
and connection cables before replacing the batteries.
• After replacing the batteries, replace the cover and screws before using the instru-
ment.
• Battery may explode if mistreated. Do not short-circuit, recharge, disassemble or
dispose of in fire.
• Handle and dispose of batteries in accordance with local regulations.
• Keep batteries away from children
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or different types of batteries. Also, be careful to
observe battery polarity during installation. Otherwise, poor performance or damage from
battery leakage could result.
• Use only the specified type of battery (six LR20 alkaline batteries).
• To avoid corrosion and damage to this instrument from battery leakage, remove the bat-
teries from the instrument if it is to be stored for a long time (for a month).
• After use, always turn OFF the power.
• You can check the remaining battery life with the LED on the left side of the instrument. (p. 10)
•
The instrument’s Power LED can correctly indicate the remaining battery level only if the
instrument was turned on with unused alkaline batteries inserted.
• The Power LED color depends on the setting conditions, surrounding temperature, and
remaining battery level. Use of the instrument in a low temperature or that with weak batteries
may cause the instrument to shut down regardless of the Power LED color. Replace batteries
with unused batteries.
Use with manganese batteries
Use with manganese batteries, which cannot generate a large current because of their
small capacity, will cause a shorter operating time.
