VI. Replacing Battery
Toavoidelectricshock,whenreplacing thebatte-
ries,thetestlinemustbepulledaway fromthein-
strument,and do notconnectwiththemeasured
wire.
Observethecorrectbatterypolarity,otherwise,the
i
n
strumentwill bedamaged.
Replace thebatterywithanewoneas soon as
p
ossiblewhenthebatteryvoltageislow.
Donotmixtheoldand newbatterytogether.
1. When the batteryvoltagedropsto4.8V,a symbolwill be
displayed on theinstrument, indicatingthe batteryvoltageislow.
Replacethe batteryimmediately.
2. Press the POWER keytoshutdownthe instrument. Aftercon-
firmingthatthe instrumenthasbeen shutdownf,open the battery
coverand replacewithanewbatteryrecommended bythe manu-
facturer.Payspecialattentiontothecorrectbatterypolarity.Re-
placethe batterycover,bootupthe instrumentand confirmthatthe
instrumentcanoperateproperly.(asshowninthe followingfig-
