Commissioning and power supply
Before placing the unit is service,
read the operating instructions
and make note of the Safety
Precautions at page 3. Unpack
the device and check to make
certain all pieces have been
included with delivery (standard
accessories, see Section 20).
Power supply
The battery must be placed in the
measuring unit to place it in
service. The device runs on one
AA (R6) size 1.5 V battery.
Use only alkaline batteries!
A rechargeable battery can also
be used.
Depending on the exact brand, the
capacity of each battery is
sufficient for about 10,000
measurements. When the battery
voltage falls below the required
minimum voltage in the course of
operation, the following message
appears on the display
Battery low!
To ensure that the unit is always
ready for operation, it is
recommended to have a spare
battery handy, especially when
performing measurements in the
field.
Changing the battery
To insert or change the
battery open the battery
compartment. The easiest way to
do this is by turning the cover one-
eighth of a rotation to the left with a
coin. Turn the device back around
and allow the old battery and the
battery compartment cover to slide
into your hand.
Insert the new battery with the po-
sitive (top) end first into the battery
compartment and set the battery
compartment cover in place again.
Lock the cover in place by turning
it one-eighth of a rotation to the
right.
