Battery Replacement 

When the low battery symbol   appears on the LCD, replace the 
meter’s battery (9V). The battery compartment is located behind 
the panel that surrounds the meter’s trigger (see diagram). 

 

Open the compartment by carefully pulling the panel down away 
from the trigger area. The panel is hinged at the bottom and 
does not completely disconnect from the meter. Replace the 9V 
battery and close the battery compartment cover. 

 

Note that the dip switches for TEST LOCK ON/OFF, UNIT OF 
MEAUSURE C/F selection, and AUDIBLE ALARM ON/OFF, 
explained earlier in this User Guide, are located in the battery 
compartment behind the battery.
