When using the instrument for the first time, insert eight AA
(LR6) alkaline batteries. Before attempting measurement, check
to make sure enough battery charge remains. When the battery
charge gets low, replace the batteries.
2.2 Installing or Replacing the Batteries
• To avoid electric shock, turn off the power
and disconnect the test lead before replac-
ing the batteries. After replacing the batter-
ies, replace the cover before using the
instrument.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or differ-
ent types of batteries. Also, be careful to
observe battery polarity during installation.
Otherwise, poor performance or damage
from battery leakage could result.
• To avoid the possibility of explosion, do not
short circuit, disassemble or incinerate bat-
teries.
• Handle and dispose of batteries in accor-
dance with local regulations.
The indicator flashes when battery voltage
becomes low. Replace the new batteries soon.
