Overview and Setup
1-71-7
NOTE: If your unit has not been used for several weeks recharge for
approximately 24 hours.
NOTE: When storing the unit for a long period of time, the
batteries should be removed.
Applying Power
The instrument remains “powered down” until a measurement is
taken. When a measurement is taken, or when any key is pressed,
the instrument automatically turns on.
If no measurements are taken or keys pressed for 45 seconds, the
instrument automatically turns off again to conserve battery power.
Inserting/Removing the Batteries
Your instrument is shipped with six AA NI-CAD batteries already
installed. Should you ever need to replace the batteries, first close
and lock the Shoe (when the shoe is unlocked and open, it blocks
the battery door). Next, slide the battery door in the rear of the
instrument down and off. The batteries will spring out a bit.
To replace the batteries, insert six fresh AA NI-CAD batteries into
the instrument, three into each chamber. Note the proper polarity
of the batteries in Figure 1-5, and on the CAUTION label
beneath the instrument. You will need to press and hold the
batteries down in place while you slide the battery cover back on.
Push the cover into place until it is flush with the bottom of the
instrument.
