Power
The Ground Pro Meter uses a 9V alkaline battery. Do
not use any other battery. If you are not using your
Ground Pro Meter for an extended period of time,
remove the battery from the unit in order to prevent
damage caused by a possible battery leakage.
Installing the Battery
Remove the screw from the battery lid. Slide off the
battery lid at the back of the Ground Pro Meter and
attach the 9V battery to the battery clip. Observe the
polarity of the battery. Slide in the battery lid and secure
it back with the screw.
Low-Battery Indicator
When battery voltage gets low (less than 20% capacity
remains), the low battery indicator on the display
appears. At this point, replace the battery.
Automatic Power Off
In order to save battery life, the Ground Pro Meter has
an automatic power-off (APO) feature that will turn the
unit off after approximately 10 minutes if no buttons are
pressed. You can access the APO setting by depressing
the F button once. You will see the display as shown
above. You can then enable or disable APO using the
Up and Down arrow buttons. Please keep in mind that
with APO disabled, the battery life will be shorter.

Turning Unit On and Off
ON
Press the button. If the battery voltage is too
low even to indicate low-voltage status on the display
or if the self-diagnostic fails, you will hear a beep and
the unit will shut itself off. If the battery is completely
drained, there may not even be a beep. Please replace
the battery. Use proper disposal method per local
regulatory requirements.
OFF
Press the Power/C button for at least two seconds. The
Ground Pro Meter will turn off.
Checking the Battery Voltage
Press the F button two times to get the screen
in Figure 5. The upper display shows the battery
voltage, and the lower display shows the percentage of
usable battery life left.
