Chapter 5 - INITIALIZATION AND MEASUREMENT
HI9829 is supplied with 4 rechargeable, size C NiMH (Nickel‑metal hydride) batteries.
The battery symbol on the LCD indicates the remaining battery charge. The meter has a low battery
warning, and when the symbol starts blinking, batteries should be charged or replaced with new ones.
When the batteries are discharged the meter will automatically shut off to avoid erroneous readings.
Meter Battery Installation
Replace batteries in safe areas only.
Remove the 4 screws on the rear of the instrument
and insert the batteries observing polarity.
If you wish to replace the supplied rechargeable
batteries with nonrechargeble alkaline batteries,
move the switch in the battery compartment upward.
A warning message is displayed if you connect the
charging cable to a meter with alkaline batteries.
Nonrechargeable alkaline batteries can explode or leak if you try to charge them. Verify
that the switch is in the up position when using alkaline batteries to prevent recharging.
Note: Do not mix old and new alkaline batteries.
