Replacing the battery
When the battery no longer functions correctly it should
be replaced.
When shipped, the battery is installed in the instrument.
Unused batteries lose their charge over time and must be
recharged before they can be used. After installing a new
battery, the instrument should be charged for at least 8
hours (e.g., overnight) in the charging station before
testing.
Replace the battery within approximately 10 minutes to
retain the date and time settings. Beyond this period of
time, and depending on the instrument’s configuration:
• You must re-enter date and time.
• The date and time is set automatically by the DMS.
NOTICE!

waste.

applicable local regulations and directives and your
