Getting Started
Installing Batteries
The AXD530 uses three (3) AA size non-rechargeable batteries. The
unit was shipped with batteries not installed. You will find the
batteries in the instrument package.

To install the batteries:
• Loosen the battery cover screw on the back of the instrument.
• Slide the cover up and lift it out.
• Install the batteries over the pull strap, taking care to observe each
battery’s polarity.
• Replace the cover and tighten the screws.
Note:
When the batteries become low, the LCD will show [
LO BATT
]
above the reading. From that point, you will have about one
hour of normal use left. If [
] comes on continuously and
replaces the reading, the battery voltage is too low for
accurate measurements and the meter will turn itself off.
