How the SIXTOMAT flash functions
2.1 Preparations
Battery
The SIXTOMAT flash operates with a 1,5 V
AA-type battery (alkaline-manganese battery).
Since the meter’s power consumption is minimal,
the battery will last for a long time. When the bat-
tery’s capacity becomes exhausted, the
symbol appears on the display as a warning that
the battery has to be replaced at the earliest pos-
sible opportunity.
Measurements cease to be possible if the dis-
play only indicates
. The battery must be im-
mediately replaced.
To change the battery open the battery comp-
partment of the SIXTOMAT flash. Remove the
exhausted battery and insert the new one. Ensu-
re correct polarity „+“ and „–“! Push back the bat-
tery compartment cover. Battery changing
erases all stored values.
