Battery Remaining 

– In the lower right portion of the screen is a 

battery icon with bars showing how much remains for the 9V battery. 
Three bars shows a full battery, two bars is between 33% and 66%, 
one bar is between 33% and 10%. A flashing battery outline icon 
shows that there is less than 10% battery life remaining. 

Since the test runs for a short time after the AC power shuts off it is 
recommended to replace the 9V battery (with no AC power present) 
once the battery indicator shows one bar or a flashing battery 
outline icon.
