note: The life of the batteries can be
extended by using headphones (not

than the built-in speaker. See the
section on headphones below.
caution! Always remove old or weak
batteries; old batteries can leak
chemicals that can damage electronic
parts. If you do not plan to use the
Tool for a week or more, remove the
batteries. Use only fresh batteries
of the required size. Do not mix old
and new batteries or different types of
batteries.
testing Batteries
Test the battery power when the Tool
does not turn on, or has weak volume, or
will not tune properly or operates errati-
cally.
Set the MoDe to VlF (very low
frequency). To test the
batteries in the left battery
compartment, set Batt
teSt to B1. To test the
battery in the right battery
compartment, set Batt
teSt to B2 (see Figure 9).

If the pointer on the viewmeter is
within the Batt scale’s green area, the
batteries have enough power. If the point-
er is not within the green area, the batter-
ies need to be replaced (see Figure 10).
