At power on, remaining battery percentage is displayed.
• Battery level is measured each time the LED is turned on. If the battery level is less than 10%, the
battery tag is displayed blinking and batteries need to be replaced.
• When the batteries are completely discharged, “0% bAtt” message is displayed for one second and
the instrument turns off. To continue working, replace the batteries or use an AC adapter.
