4 Getting started
4.1 Inserting the
battery
The monitor runs on a 3 V
CR2032 lithium battery.
One battery usually lasts for
approx. 1000 tests.
Different types of CR2032
lithium batteries have
varying degrees of capacity.
Insert the battery supplied
when you use the monitor
for the first time and
replace it with a new one
when “LP” or the battery
symbol appears in the
display.
To do this, open the battery
compartment on the back
of the device by gently pressing on the panel in the direction
of the arrow and insert the cell battery (3 V CR2032 lithium
battery). Make sure that the positive terminal (+) is facing
up. Put the lid of the battery compartment back on and push
it until it clicks into place.
When changing the battery, the memory retains the
contents. However, you might have to reset the time and
date afterwards.
