The meter operates normally, displaying the
Low Batteries symbol until you replace the
batteries.
When you are no longer able to perform a test
due to low batteries, the meter displays the
Dead Batteries screen. Replace the batteries
immediately.
CAUTION: Use only approved equipment (e.g., USB cable) from the
manufacturer or certified body such as UL, CSA, TUV, or CE.
Replace the Batteries
1. Before replacing your batteries,
turn off your meter.
2. Turn the meter over and slide the
battery cover in the direction of
the arrow.
3. Remove both of the old batteries and replace them with two 3-volt
CR2032 or DL2032 coin cell batteries.
NOTE: If you put the new batteries in the meter within 5 minutes
of taking the old batteries out, the meter saves all your settings
and results. Always check the date and time after you replace
the batteries. If they are correct, other settings and results are
also saved.
4. Make sure the ‘+’ sign is facing
up on the new batteries.
5. Press each battery into a
compartment.
6. Slide the battery cover back into place.
7. Discard batteries according to your local environmental regulations.
