10 Changing the Battery
The MicroTim XB digital is a low power device which will operate for months on a single high-end (for example
‘Energizer E2’) ‘AAA’ size penlight battery. A high quality alkaline battery is obviously preferable in terms of
battery life. Do not use rechargeable batteries, as these types of batteries self-discharge relatively quickly.
To change the battery:
1) Place the unit on a soft cloth or hold the unit to prevent scratching the faceplate while changing the
battery.
