All components have been selected to minimize current drain
without compromising functionality. In order to minimize the battery
consumption, the meter is equipped with an auto-shut off function
which switches the meter off after 5 minutes of non-use.
The four 1.5V batteries guarantee 60 hours of working life (or 900
measurements).
In order to obtain accurate measurements, the battery level is
monitored every time the meter is switched on.
In addition, a “LO BAT” indication will appear on the lower right
corner of the display when the batteries are weak (<10%). All four
batteries need to be replaced.
When the batteries are too weak to ensure reliable measurements,
the message 0% LO BAT appears for a few seconds, and then the
meter will automatically switch itself off. Replace the batteries
immediately.
Battery replacement must only take place in a safe area and using
1.5V AA alkaline batteries.
To install or replace the batteries,
turn the unit off and remove the
battery compartment cover on the
rear of the meter.
Insert the new batteries while
paying attention to the polarity.
After the batteries have been
installed, close the battery cover
and make sure the gasket is in place
before tightening the 2 screws, to
ensure a watertight seal.
