battery before each measuring session.

1. Press and hold the red test button
on the front of the meter. If the
measuring needle swings up and
stops in the red area of the dial
(see arrow), there is sufficient battery
power for accurate measurements.
2. If the meter needle stops below
the red area, the battery needs to
be replaced before measurements
can be taken.

1. Remove the gauge from the
carrying case. Turn over locate
the battery compartment.
2. Insert the tip of a small flat-head
screwdriver (or similar instrument
into the slot shown at left and
gently twist open the lid.
NOTE: The battery compartment lid is attached to the case.
3. Remove and disconnect the old 9V
battery and replace with a new one
(alkaline or rechargeable).
4. Carefully close the lid by pressing
on the two corners until the lid snaps
