5.10. Battery Charge Indicator

Batteries almost discharged
When the batteries are approximately 75% used the battery symbol
will flash as soon as the instrument is switched on (if at least one of
the batteries still has some charge). Although the instrument will con-
tinue to measure reliably, you should obtain replacement batteries.
Batteries discharged– replacements required
When the batteries are discharged, the battery symbol will flash as
soon as the instrument is switched on. You cannot take any further
measurements and must replace the batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment at the back of the instrument by pushing inward at the
two arrows and pulling it out.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure they are correctly connected, as shown on the symbols
in the compartment.
3. The memory retains all values although date and time (and possibly also set alarm
times) must be reset - the year number therefore flashes automatically after the bat-
teries are replaced.
4. To set date and time, follow the procedure described in Section 4.2.
Which batteries and which procedure?
Use four new, longlife 1.5V AA batteries. Do not use batteries beyond their expiration
