Warning!
Modifying or tampering with your meter’s internal components can cause a malfunction and might invalidate
its warranty.
8.1. Installing the battery
Your meter requires a 9 V battery for power. The battery symbol appears when the batteries voltage drops to
certain limits. For correct operation, replace the battery as soon as possible. Continued use with a low
battery will lead to errors in reading.
Warning!
To avoid electric shock, disconnect both leads from any equipment before you remove or install the
batteries.
Follow these steps to install the batteries.
1. Turn off the power and disconnect the two test leads.
2. Remove the screws to open the battery compartment.
3. Place the battery inside and snap it onto place.
Warning!
Do not discard the provided battery insulation capsule. If you do not use this insulation capsule properly, it
can damage the meter or cause bodily injury.
4. Place the battery compartment cover and tighten screws.
Warning!
Do not operate the meter until you replace the battery and close the battery compartment cover.
Caution!
Batteries, which are used up, dispose duly. Used up batteries are hazardous and must be given in the for
this being supposed collective container.
Statutory Notification about the Battery Regulations
The delivery of many devices includes batteries, which for example serve to operate the remote control.
There also could be batteries or accumulators built into the device itself. In connection with the sale of these
batteries or accumulators, we are obliged under the Battery Regulations to notify our customers of the
following:
Please dispose of old batteries at a council collection point or return them to a local shop at no cost. The
disposal in domestic refuse is strictly forbidden according to the Battery Regulations. You can return used
batteries obtained from us at no charge at the address on the last side in this manual or by posting with
sufficient stamps.
Batteries, which contain harmful substances, are marked with the symbol of a crossed-out
waste bin, similar to the illustration shown left. Under the waste bin symbol is the chemical
symbol for the harmful substance, e.g. „Cd“ for cadmium, „Pb“ stands for lead and „Hg“ for
mercury.
You can obtain further information about the Battery Regulations from the Bundesministerium für Umwelt,
Naturschutz und Reaktorsicherheit
(Federal Ministry of Environment, Nature Conservation and Reactor
Safety)
