meters come with two
(2) 1.5 V AAA alkaline batteries. Batteries are
manufactured in a charged state and not
designed for recharging. Recharging the batteries
can cause battery leakage, or in some cases, high
pressure rupture. Replace both batteries at the
same time.
Warning: Batteries can explode or leak
and cause burns if installed backwards,
disassembled, charged or exposed to water,
re or high temperatures.
Low Battery
The meter will alert you when the power is
getting low by displaying two (2) different
messages:
1. When the “ ” symbol appears alone on
the display, the meter is functional and the
results remain accurate, but you should
change the batteries as soon as possible.
54
2. When the “ ” symbol appears together
with the “E-b” symbol on the display, the
battery does not have enough power for
a test. You must change the battery before
using the meter.
Battery Replacement
When replacing the batteries, make sure the
meter is turned off.
STEP 1: With the meter off, press the buckle on
the battery cover and lift up to open the cover.
STEP 2: Remove the old batteries and replace
with new ones. Be sure to align the batteries
properly.
STEP 3: Close the battery cover. If the meter
does not power on after you have replaced the
batteries, check that the batteries are correctly
installed.
STEP 4: Turn the meter on by pressing the “M”
button to check the time and date. Replacing
the batteries does not affect the meter’s memory
(previous test results stored in the memory).
