Using batteries The device can be run with 3 batteries (baby 1.5V).
To ensure the correct arrangement of the batteries, their re-
spective polarities are indicated at the bottom of the battery
compartment (see Figure 4).
Any time the device is started up, the user is informed about the
state of the batteries: The voltage can be queried on the menu
Parameter/Power Supply/Voltage Battery.
For this purpose, Battery has to be selected as software setting
on the Hardware menu.
Please note:
The RAM memory storing the measured data, the settings and
the date is permanently supplied with power via a lithium bat-
tery when the device is not being run with supply voltage or with
batteries/rechargeable batteries. In order to avoid a data loss,
the lithium battery should therefore be replaced while the device
is being supplied with power with supply voltage or via batter-
ies/rechargeable batteries. The lithium battery is located on the
motherboard and should therefore only be replaced by trained
staff.
