INTRODUCTION
GLK Digital Torque Screwdrivers combine ergonomic grips, digital
accuracy and five Go/No Go torque presets that alert users with an
intermittent signal at 90% and a continuous signal at 100% of the
preset using LED and audible alerts (presets cannot be set at less
than 10% of capacity).These torque screwdrivers measure in peak
mode, peak with auto zero reset, and real time.The Go/No Go Counter
counts the number of fasteners tightened within programmed high
and low torque limits. Selectable units of lbf-in, lbf-ft, and cN-m.

REPLACING THE BATTERY
When the display starts flashing, the battery needs replacement.
Turn the driver over and loosen the battery cover screw with a
Phillips screwdriver. Remove the battery cover and the old battery.
Replace it only with a lithium ion coin battery (Panasonic CR2354).
Do not use equivalents. Note the polarity when installing.
Wrap the old battery with adhesive tape to insulate it from other
objects before recycling.
