Inserting/Replacing Batteries
CAUTION
Poor performance or damage from battery leakage could
result. Observe the cautions listed below.
• Do not mix new and old batteries, or different types of
batteries.
• Be careful to observe the battery polarity during
installation.
• Do not use batteries after their recommended expiry date.
• Do not allow used batteries to remain in the instrument.
• To avoid corrosion from battery leakage and/or damage
to the instrument, remove the batteries from the
instrument if it is to be kept in storage for an extended
period.
• If the battery level is low, mark blinks. To carry out
measurement, the batteries need to be replaced with new ones.
• After use, be sure to turn off the instrument.
• Although rechargeable batteries (nickel-hydride) can be
used for measurement, the battery level indicator will not be
accurately displayed.
• When replacing the batteries after cleaning, the replacement
should be carried out after the device has been completely dried.
• The operating temperature of the batteries included in the
shipment is -10°C to 45°C (14°F to 113°F). When using this
device outside this temperature range, use batteries that can
support such a low or high temperature range. (An example:
Lithium battery)
