NOTE
● When the meter is turned ON and the LCD screen appears and immediately turns off,
this indicates that the battery is depleted and should be replaced immediately. Having
spare batteries on hand is recommended.
● When the meter is continuously used at room temperature, the battery life is as follows.

3-6 Replacing Batteries
●
Always turn off the power before replacing batteries.
If you replace batteries while the power is turned on, the measured
values that are obtained during operations are not saved. Also, this
may cause a failure.
●
If an unexpected display appears on the LCD during battery replacement
or measurement, i.e. settings other than selected, or if the meter does
not respond when a button is pressed, remove the batteries, wait at least
10 seconds, and then re-install them.
