Inserting/changing the battery
Operation of the measuring device requires a 9V battery (e.g. 1604A). You need to insert a new, char-
ged battery prior to initial operation or when the battery change symbol appears on the display.
T
o insert/replace the battery, proceed as follows:
- Disconnect all measuring cables from the device and switch it off.
- Unfold the support brackets (15) and unscrew the two screws on the battery compartment (14).
- Take the battery compartment off the measuring device. Now the battery is accessible.
- Replace the flat battery with a new one of the same type.
- Close the battery compartment again in reverse direction.
- The measuring device is ready for use again.
Never operate the measurement device when it is open.
Do not leave flat batteries in the device. Even batteries protected against lea-
king can corrode and thus release chemicals which may be detrimental to your
health or destroy the battery compartment.
Do not leave batteries lying around carelessly. They might be swallowed by
children or pets. If swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
Remove the batteries if the device is not used for longer periods of time to pre-
vent leaking.
Leaking or damaged batteries may cause alkali burns if they come in contact
with the skin. Therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
Make sure that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not throw batteries
into fire!
Batteries may not be recharged or dismantled. Danger of explosion!
