BatteryReplacement

The9Vbatterythatpowerstheinstrumentrequiresreplacingwhenthebatteryiconflasheson

thedisplay.Toreplacethebatteryfollowthestepsbelow:

1. Disconnecttheprobefromtheinstrument.

2. OpentherearbatterycompartmentusingascrewdrivertoremovethetwoPhillipshead

screwsthatsecurethecompartment.

3. Carefullyremovetheoldbatteryfromthecompartmentlidchamberandgentlyunsnap

thebattery’sterminalsfromthewired(red/black)connectors.

4. Installanew9Vbatterybysnappingthebatteryterminalsontothewiredconnectors

(observingcorrectpolarity)andinsertingthebatteryintothecompartmentlidchamber.

5. Installthecompartmentlidchamberintothemeterhousingandsecurewiththetwo

screws.



Neverdisposeofusedbatteriesorrechargeablebatteriesinhouseholdwaste.

Asconsumers,usersarelegallyrequiredtotakeusedbatteriestoappropriate

collectionsites,theretailstorewherethebatterieswerepurchased,orwherever

batteriesaresold.

Disposal:Donotdisposeofthisinstrumentinhouseholdwaste.Theuserisobligatedtotake
