Inserting/changing the batteries
It is recommended that you use alkaline manganese batteries to operate the measuring tool.
To open the battery compartment cover (9), press the locking mechanism (10) and lift open the battery compartment cover. Insert the batteries. When inserting the batteries, ensure the polarity is correct according to the representation on the inside of the battery compartment cover.
The battery indicator (g) shows the state of charge of the batteries:
Display | Capacity |
---|---|
76 % to 100 % | |
51 % to 75 % | |
26 % to 50 % | |
15 min to < 25 % | |
maximum 15 min |
If the battery indicator (g) flashes with the empty battery symbol, the batteries must be replaced.
Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the same capacity.
- Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a prolonged period of time. The batteries can corrode and self-discharge during prolonged storage in the measuring tool.
