The instrument is powered by two batteries type MN 1500 LR6.
Alkaline
or rechargeable batteries can be used. Please note that rechargeable
batteries must be removed from the instrument before recharging. Th
e
battery compartment is located at the back. Press and push the lid to
open the compartment.
The battery test on the setup menu shows the present battery voltage.
The battery status icon will show when the batteries are low and have
to be replaced or recharged.
The battery life depends on how the instrument is used. Full power is
only consumed while a reading is in progress: from pressing the meas-
uring key until a measured value is displayed.
Before long-time storage of the instrument, keep in mind to remove
the batteries.
