3-1 Preparing for Measurement 

3-1-1 Installing the Batteries 

 

■

 Dry Cells 

Turn the screw on the rear panel 
with a coin or other flat object to 
remove the cover, then install 
the batteries.  Turning the 
screw locks/unlocks the cover 
as shown in the figure.     

 

Insert two AA batteries into 
the holder following the 

polarity markings.    Always close the 
cover after installing batteries.     

 

If the low battery indicator blinks, you must change the batteries 
immediately.  The instrument runs for approximately forty hours 
when using alkaline AA batteries (performance may vary 

depending on the types of batteries used, and operating 
conditions).   

 

■

 AC Adapter 

Connect the AC adapter output terminal to the instrument’s AC 

adapter terminal after opening the cap.
