The ES14 operates on a 9V battery located under
the kickstand. To change the battery, simply remove
the battery cover and unsnap the battery connector.
Install a new battery by attaching the connector to
the new battery and placing back in the battery well.
There is an extra battery well located beneath the
functioning battery. A back-up battery may be stored
in this compartment.
Quick Tips
The word “Battery”
appearing in the lower
left hand corner of the
display indicates low
battery voltage, and a
new battery must be
installed.
Failure to change the
battery may cause
inaccurate readings by
the ES14.
