Install / Replace Batteries SECTION 1
THE BATTERIES: The Meter uses two (3-volt lithium) batteries. These are furnished with
the Meter.
WHEN TO REPLACE: When the battery voltage becomes weak (after approximately
1000 readings), the Meter will show a battery display ( ). When this display appears, it is
time to replace the batteries (see page 40 for battery types). The Meter will continue to pro-
vide accurate results for a period of time until the batteries are exhausted. At this time, the
Meter will “lock you out” from further testing.
DIRECTIONS:
1. With the tip of a finger, press the battery compartment
lid latch toward the word “open.” Lift the lid.
2. Place the two new batteries into the battery compartment with
the “+” side up and close the lid. NOTE: If replacing batteries,
remove the old batteries from the compartment and discard.
Things to remember:
• WARNING: Keep batteries away from children. Lithium
batteries are poisonous. If swallowed, immediately
contact your physician.
• Discard batteries according to your local
environmental regulations.
• The Meter memory will not be erased when
batteries are changed.
