Changing the batteries
Warning:
Do not charges the batteries or NiMH cells with
the instrument switched on. The memory
contents can be lost if you do this.
The batteries are changed in the following way:
• Switch off the instrument.
The built-in lithium battery ensures that the memory
contents are retained when the instrument is switched off.
• Turn the instrument so that the back panel faces upward
• Use a coin or a screwdriver to turn the screw locking the
battery compartment (counterclockwise) and remove the
cover.
• Holding the instrument in one hand shake out the
batteries into your other hand taking care not to
disconnect them.
• Replace one battery at a time so that you do not lose any
data which you may have stored.
The instrument will not be damaged if you try to
connect a battery the wrong way round.
