possible.

The print command is controlled by the mm/inch button.

Battery Installation

The caliper comes with one CR2032 3V

battery installed. To change or install a

new battery refer to Figs. 1 & 2.
First, remove the output cover (1) [See

Fig. 1]. Then, remove the battery cover

(2) by sliding it in the direction of the

arrow.
Next, lift the clear battery protector (3),

old battery (4) and battery gasket (5) out

of the compartment.

To install a new battery, first make sure

the battery gasket is positioned correctly in the battery compartment [See Fig. 2].

(Note: It is important that the gasket is oriented correctly with the rubber protrusion

between the two holes facing downward.) Next, place a new CR2032 battery plus

(+) side up into the battery compartment. Put the

battery protector back into position on top of the battery

gasket, again making sure the rubber gasket is correctly

positioned in the cavity. While lightly pressing down on

the battery protector, slide the battery cover back into

position over the protector. Finally, insert the output cover

into the output slot located on the top of the cover.
The LCD now displays the two units - mm and in. Select

the desired unit by pressing either the MODE button for

metric mode or the SET button for inch mode.
