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 non-rechargeable batteries, depending on the capacity.
- Open the battery compartment cover.
- Insert the batteries.
- Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same manufacturer 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.
- Take the batteries out of the measuring tool if you are not using it for a prolonged period of time. The batteries can corrode during prolonged storage in the measuring tool.
