9.3 Battery Pack Replacement and Disposal
• To avoid electric shock when replacing the battery, turn the
power switch off and disconnect all leads and cables from the
instrument.
• To avoid the possibility of explosion, do not short circuit, disas-
semble or incinerate battery pack. Handle and dispose of batter-
ies in accordance with local regulations.
• Expected battery pack life is about one year (or about 500 recharges).
Replace only with another Hioki Model 9459 Battery Pack.
• The battery pack is subject to self-discharge. Be sure to charge the
battery pack before initial use. If the battery capacity remains very low
after correct recharging, the useful battery life is at an end.
