4. The Batteries
4.1. Inserting the Batteries
The PCE-VM 25 is supplied by three alkaline standard cell type AAA (LR03) batteries. NiMH batteries (HR03) may also be used. The minimum energy requirement of
the PCE-VM 25 enables maximum utilization of the batteries. Attention: Please switch the instrument off before changing the batteries. When switched off, the contents
of the memory are stored for a few minutes, without need of the batteries, and the internal clock continues to run. If the batteries are removed when the instrument is
switched on or if they remain in the instrument until the batteries have been completely discharged, the date and time will need to be reset. Further settings as well as
the saved measurands, are stored without need of the batteries
To insert the batteries, remove the two screws from the back cover of the device and open the battery compartment (Figure 8). When inserting the batteries, please
ensure that their polarity is correct, (see the engraved markings inside the compartment).

Important:
• Always use three batteries of the same type and same date of manufacture.
• Remove old batteries from the instrument, and take out the batteries if the instrument will not be used for a long period of time. Otherwise

Please use your local collection point to dispose of batteries.
Batteries do not belong to the household waste.
