BATTERY INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT
⚠
CAUTION: Always change batteries in an environment free of
combustible gases.
⚠
Warning: Do not mix batteries of different type or age.
Battery replacement is necessary when the BAT icon is illuminated and
the green LED is flashing. This warning indicates there is approximately
15 minutes or less operational time before the instrument turns off
automatically due to insufficient battery power.
Remove the battery sleeve cover by removing the battery sleeve screw
with a T-10 screwdriver. Depress the locking tab on the front of the
handle with a coin or flat object and pull the battery sleeve handle away
from the top or display area of the instrument.
Place 3 approved batteries into the battery holder. Observe the polarity
markings on the inside of the battery holder for proper battery installation.
Improper installation will cause the instrument not to operate.
Replace the battery sleeve and allow the locking tab to snap into
position. Replace the battery sleeve retaining screw. Check to be sure
the handle is secure to the instrument body by firmly pulling the handle
away. The handle will remain in place if a proper connection is made.
