Battery Warning
When the batteries are significantly depleted and
could cause the unit to fail during a test, a low battery
warning appears on the screen each time a test is
attempted. If the unit is kept on with low batteries, the
low battery warning flashes for one minute and then
the unit turns itself off.
Once these warnings appear, Tempo cannot guarantee
how long the accuracy remains within the published
limits. See the “Specifications” section for those limits.
Tempo recommends charging the batteries as soon as
possible to ensure accurate measurements. Refer to
the next section for instructions.
Note: If the technician turns the unit on and the LCD
does not display, check the batteries first.
If recharging the batteries is not an option, the unit can
operate from six AA alkaline cells. Use the AA battery
holder from the accessories bag.
This battery holder must be installed in place of the
rechargeable battery pack.
Follow the replacement instructions in the next section
to swap battery packs.
Battery Replacement
To replace the batteries:
1. Disconnect all leads from any circuits, and turn unit
off.
2. Remove the battery compartment door by loosen-
ing the screw toward the bottom of the door.
3. Slide the battery out of the holder.
4. Remove and reinsert the rechargeable Li-ion
battery pack or the battery carrier with six new AA
batteries. When inserting AA batteries into the tray,
place each battery’s negative (–) end on a spring
contact.
5. Replace the holder in the battery compartment.
6. Replace the door and tighten the screw.
