Inserting/Changing the batteries
It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese batteries to operate the measuring tool.
To open the battery compartment cover (8), press the locking mechanism (7) and lift open the battery compartment cover. Insert the batteries.
When inserting the batteries, ensure that the polarity is correct according to the illustration on the inside of the battery compartment.
If the battery warning (4) flashes, the batteries are getting low. The measuring tool can be operated for approx. two more hours once the warning begins to flash. If the battery warning (4) remains lit up, no further measurements can be taken. The measuring tool switches off automatically after a short time.
Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the same capacity.
- Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a prolonged period of time. The batteries can corrode and self-discharge during prolonged storage in the measuring tool.
