8. Setup
a) Installing/replacing the battery
Before initial operation of this measuring device, you must first install a 9 V block (alkaline) battery. A power adapter
can also be used (optional).
The battery must be inserted or replaced for initial operation or when the battery status symbol
is visible.
Proceed as follows to replace the battery:
• Switch off the measuring device.
• Loosen the rear battery compartment screw (12) and carefully lift off the battery compartment cover (11).
• Connect a 9 V block battery with the battery connector. Pay attention to correct polarity (+/-) of the battery connector.
Stow both in the battery compartment.
• Close the battery compartment by carefully inserting and tightening the screw of the battery compartment cover.
•
If you replace a flat battery with a new alkaline batteries of the same type, proceed in exactly the same way,
ensuring to remove the flat battery first.
