MAINTENANCE TIPS
When the
icon appears at the upper right of the display,
it’s time to replace the “9V” battery that powers the
instrument (although measurements will remain valid for
several hours after the icon first appears). To replace the
battery, follow the instructions on p. 6.
Remove the battery when storing the meter and when you do
not expect to use it for an extended period of time (months
rather than weeks).
Do not drop or disassemble the meter or immerse it in water.
