2.1.1 Installing or Replacing the Battery
• To avoid electric shock, turn off the
power switch and disconnect the test
leads before replacing the batteries.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or dif-
ferent types of batteries. Also, be care-
ful to observe battery polarity during
installation. Otherwise, poor perfor-
mance or damage from battery leakage
could result.
• After replacing the batteries, reattach
the battery cover and secure the screw
before using the instrument.
• Battery may explode if mistreated. Do
not short-circuit, recharge, disassemble
or dispose of in fire.
• Handle and dispose of batteries in
accordance with local regulations.
• When the battery status indicator
is low, replace the batteries.
• The indicator lights up when the
remaining battery capacity is low. In this
case, measurement is not possible.
Replace the batteries.
• Use the specified batteries only. Do not use
manganese batteries, for example, since
operating time will be greatly reduced.
• To avoid corrosion and damage to this
instrument from battery leakage, remove
the batteries from the instrument if it is to
be stored for a long time.
