6.1 Monitoring the power supply voltage
The batteries charging level is indicated by the symbol located in the top right-hand corner of the
screen:
Replace or charge the batteries!
Remember that:
the message on the display indicates insufficient power supply voltage and the need to re-
place or charge the batteries,
the measurements made with the meter with insufficient power supply voltage have additional
measurement error which is impossible to be estimated by the user.
6.2 Replacing the batteries
The power supply of the meter is from four LR6 alkaline batteries or four NiMH rechargeable bat-
teries (size AA). The batteries are in an compartment in the bottom part of the casing.

To replace the batteries:
1. Disconnect the leads from the measurement circuit and switch off the meter.
2. Unscrew the bolt fastening the battery compartment cover (in the bottom part of the casing).
3. Replace all batteries. Observe correct polarity when putting new batteries (“-“ at the spring part of
the contact plate). Reversed polarity of the batteries will not damage the meter or the batteries,
but the meter will not work.
4. Put the cover in place and fasten it with the bolt.

cause correct charging level indication depends on this. Discharging characteristics
of batteries and rechargeable batteries are different.
If batteries leak in the compartment, send the meter to the service outlet.
Rechargeable batteries should be charged in an external charger.
