7. Battery Indicator and Battery change

Low battery

When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol AO
will flash as soon as the device is switched on (partly filled battery
displayed). Although the device will continue to measure reliably, you
should obtain replacement batteries.
Flat battery – replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol AO will flash as soon
as the device is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot take
any further measurements and must replace the batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment 3 by pulling off the cap.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the
symbols in the compartment.
3. To set date and time, follow the procedure described in «Section 2.».

The memory retains all values although date and time must be
reset – the year number therefore flashes automatically after
the batteries are replaced.
