To replace the battery, make sure that the meter is turned off.

1. Press the buckle on battery cover and lift up to remove cover.
2. Remove the old battery and replace with one new .0 V (CR202) lithium

battery. Make sure that the positive “+” side is facing up.

. Close the battery cover. If the battery is inserted correctly, you will hear

a “beep”.

As with all small batteries, the batteries should be kept away from

small children who still put things in their mouths. If they are swal-

lowed, promptly see a doctor for help.
