open. Touch a grounded surface before performing any hardware procedure.
2. Turn OFF the power and remove all connections to the MONTEST-LCD.
3. Place the MONTEST-LCD upside down on a work surface.
4. Remove the 2 Phillips head screws that hold the top and bottom of the enclosure together.
5. Carefully turn the MONTEST-LCD right side up, holding the enclosure together.
6. Lift off the top of the enclosure to expose the battery holder.
7. Install 6 new alkaline C-size batteries noting the battery polarity marked on the battery holder.
8. Reverse this procedure to reassemble the MONTEST-LCD.
Note: Dead batteries should be removed from the MONTEST-LCD to prevent damage caused by acid leaking from a
battery.
