Inserting/Changing the Battery
Using alkali-manganese or nickel metal hydride rechargeable batteries (especially at low operating temperatures) is recommended for operation of the measuring tool.
With 1.2 V rechargeable batteries, more measurements may be possible than with 1.5 V batteries, depending on the capacity.
- Open the battery compartment cover.
- Insert the batteries/rechargeable batteries.
- Always replace all the batteries/rechargeable batteries at the same time. Only use batteries/rechargeable batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the same capacity.
- When inserting the batteries, ensure that the polarity is correct according to the illustration on the inside of the battery compartment.
When the empty battery symbol first appears on the display and flashes, only a limited number of measurements is still possible. Replace the batteries or reusable batteries.
- 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.
