Battery
The Prodigy Voice
®
and Prodigy AutoCode

meters come with two (2)
1.5 V AAA alkaline batteries. The Prodigy Pocket
™
meter comes with
one (1) CR2032 battery. 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 all
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 result remains accurate, but you should
change the battery as soon as possible.
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.
