Powering the instrument
The measurement unit can be operated either with

with AA (LR6) alkaline batteries.
Battery:
To operate the instrument using batteries, the
battery compartment must be fitted with two1.5-V
mignon AA(LR6) batteries and must be inserted
into the measurement unit until it locks into place.
Ensure that the batteries are
correctly oriented in the compartment
according to the (+) and (-) marks. See adjacent
figure.
Use only alkaline batteries (AA /LR6)!
Depending on the specific brand, the capacity
of the battery included with delivery is sufficient
for about 1000 measurements. When the battery
voltage falls below the required operating voltage
in the course of operation, the following message
appears on the display:
“Low Battery!”
To ensure that the instrument is always ready for
operation, it is recommended to have the battery
compartment and spare batteries handy, especially
when performing measurements in the field.
