Installing a Battery
To test the battery, set 
RANGE
 to 
BATT
. If
the meter shows a reading in the red
BATT TEST
 region, the battery is still
good. Replace the batteries when the
reading is in any other region or the meter
stops operating.
Warning: 
Dispose of old batteries
promptly and properly. Do not burn or
bury them.
Caution:
 If you do not plan to use the
meter for a week or more, remove the bat-
teries. Batteries can leak chemicals that
can destroy electronic parts.
Note:
 Leave 
RANGE
 in the 
OFF
 position
when the meter is not in use to conserve
battery power.
