6.1. BATTERY CAPACITY & REPLACEMENT
HI98494 is equipped with a primary, internal Li-ion battery and supplied with 4 Alkaline, 1.5 V AA
batteries. When the primary, rechargeable battery is completely discharged (0%), the meter will
switch to the backup, Alkaline batteries.
The battery level indicators on the LCD indicate the battery life. If the battery capacity is less than 10%
both indicators are displayed blinking. The primary battery should be recharged and the alkaline ones
replaced.
The instrument is equipped with the BEPS (Battery Error Prevention System) feature, which
automatically turns the instrument off when primary and Alkaline batteries reach 0%.
To replace the Alkaline batteries:
1. Turn off the instrument.
2. Remove the four screws on the back of the instrument to open the battery compartment.
3. Remove the old batteries.
4. Insert four new 1.5V AA batteries in the battery compartment while paying attention to the
correct polarity. Do not mix old and new Alkaline batteries.
5. Close the battery compartment using the four screws.
Note: If the battery capacity is less than 25%, the backlight is no longer available.
