PREPARATION

Inserting & Removing Rubber Boot

To insert the meter into the rubber boot, slide the top of the meter into the
rubber boot before pushing the bottom edges of
meter down to set it into position. Lift up the
stand at the back of meter for bench top
applications if necessary.
To remove the meter from the rubber boot, first
push the bottom edge of the meter out of the
boot. Ensure that the electrode or temperature
probe cables are not connected.

Inserting the Batteries

The battery compartment is found at the back of instrument as shown. To
open the battery compartment:

1.

Remove the rubber boot. Open the
battery compartment. Push in the
direction of arrow and lift up the cover.

2.

Insert four AAA batteries. Note the
polarity of battery before inserting into
position.

3.

Replace the cover. Press down until it
clicks. Replace the rubber boot.

Battery Replacement

A “LO” annunciator in the LCD will indicate when the battery power is

running low. See Figure below. Replace the
batteries with the same type as recommended
by the manufacturer as soon as possible.

“LO” Battery Condition

Caution: Turn the meter off meter when changing the batteries.
