BATTERY REPLACEMENT
In order to minimize the battery consumption, the meter is equipped with an auto-
shut off function which switches the meter off after 5 minutes of non-use.
The meter is powered by 4 alkaline batteries (1.5V AA), which are constantly
monitored by the meter to ensure reliable readings.
A "LO BAT" indication will appear on the display
when the batteries become  weak and require
replacement; the instrument can perform only 50
more measurements.
A "-BA-" message will appear on the display when
the batteries level is too low for performing measure-
ments; the message appears for a few seconds, then
the meter automatically shuts off; immediately
replace the batteries.
Battery replacement must only take place in a non
hazardous area using 4 alkaline batteries, 1.5V AA
size.
Turn the meter off, unscrew the 2 screws on the back
of the instrument and remove the battery cover.
Substitute the rundown batteries with new ones,
while paying attention to their polarity. Reattach
the battery cover and tighten the 2 screws.
