8.2 Battery replacement
Replace batteries only, when the instrument is switched-off!
The correct battery type needs to be set under Main Setup Menu
⇒ Instr.sett. ⇒ Battery type.
A wrongly entered setting may lead to the result of the instrument’s premature switch-off
and thus provides incorrect status information!
We recommend not to use NiCd Accumulators.
These batteries have significantly reduced capacity
and they are less environment-friendly. Also the switching threshold is not laid-out for NiCd Accum.
Remark:
the estimated operation time as mentioned before is based on normal temperatures
of approx. 20 – 25 °C.
At low temperatures the batteries and accumulators have a markedly shorter service life.
In case of prolonged non-use, the batteries should always be removed!
Defective batteries may damage the instrument by leaking acid!
Corrosion damage caused by defective batteries is not covered by the warranty!
