Low Battery Indicator and Replacing Batteries
• If the Low Battery Indicator appears on the Display, it is
time to replace your battery. The thermometer takes one
3V lithium battery (CR2032).
• Open the battery door by lifting it using your finger and
remove the battery.
• Remove battery by using a pen tip or similar sized item to press the
metal tab upward toward the head of the thermometer. The battery will
pop up for easy removal.
• Insert a new CR2032 battery with + sign facing out. Push the battery
down until it snaps.
To protect the environment, dispose of empty batteries
at appropriate collection sites according to national or
local regulations.
