Taking Measurements
Inserting / Changing the Batteries
The unit requires 2 LR06 (AA) Batteries with 1.5 V. Spend batteries are
indicated by the device ceasing to function. Replace spend batteries as soon
as possible.
Before changing the Batteries, remove the measuring probes from any
measured object. The battery compartment is on the back side of the unit and
cover is held in place by two screws. Remove the screws; one is on the top
end, the other one on the bottom.
Now you can lift off the battery compartment cover (see arrows). Remove the
old batteries and replace them with new ones or the same kind and
dimensions (2 x LR06 (AA)). Observe correct polarity (symbols in the battery
compartment). Close the cover and retighten the screws hand-tight.
Please Notice: Operate the unit only with closed battery compartment!
Measuring Voltage
With one hand, hold the unit by the housing, behind the hand guard, which
keeps your hand away from the measuring probe, and with the other hand,
hold the black measuring probe. Grasp it behind the hand guard. Now hold
both measuring probes against the measuring object (e.G. wall socket, car
battery, circuitry, component, etc.). The unit turns ON or OFF automatically.
Please Notice:
Never touch the metal tips of the measuring probes with your
hands before both probes are clear of the measuring object.
Batteries do not belong in household
garbage.
For battery disposal, please check with your
local council.
