Power supply
Three AA-batteries are used to power the vibration meter. The battery compartment is on the
back of the device. The device should be turned off before the batteries are replaced. In order to
replace the batteries, the two screws which hold the cover in place need to be removed.
Afterwards the cover can be removed so the batteries can be inserted in the compartment. The
compartment can then be closed by installing the cover and fastening the two screws.
The current battery level is displayed in the top right corner of the screen. If the battery charge is
insufficient for proper operation of the device the device automatically powers off and the screen
below is shown on the display.
