This multimeter is powered by a 9 V Ni-MH rechargeable battery (7.2 nominal
voltage) or 9 V Ni-MH rechargeable battery (8.4 V nominal voltage). Use only the
specified type (refer to Figure 5-1 below). Alternatively you may also use a 9 V
Alkaline battery (ANSI/NEDA 1604A or IEC 6LR61) or a 9 V Carbon-zinc battery

To ensure that the multimeter performs as specified, it is recommended that you
replace the battery as soon as the low-battery indicator is displayed flashing. If
