9. BATTERY
Before you can work with the measuring device, you must first insert the enclosed
battery.
a) Inserting and replacing the battery
A 9 V alkaline or lithium monobloc battery is needed to operate the measuring device. When using
for the first time or when the battery status symbol

Proceed as follows to insert/replace:
1. Disconnect the connected test leads from the measuring circuit and from your measuring device.
Switch off the DMM.
2. Open the housing as described in Chapter "23. Maintenance and cleaning" (page 76).
3. Replace the used battery with a new one of the same type. Insert the new battery in the battery
compartment (14) with the correct polarity. Pay attention to the polarity directions in the battery
compartment.
4. Carefully close the housing again.
b) Setting the battery type
1. Set the battery type used in the SETUP menu. This allows the device to display the battery level
correctly.
2. With the measuring device switched on, hold down the SHIFT/SETUP button (3) for approx. 2 s.
will appear on the display. You are now in SHIFT mode.
3. Hold down the SHIFT/SETUP button again for approx. 2 sec to open the SETUP menu.
4. Now press the SHIFT/SETUP button several times until the menu item "BATTERY TYPE" is
selected. An asterisk symbol * to the left of the menu item shows that the menu item is selected.
5. Press the REL/PC (Log/◄) or MAX/MIN (View/►) buttons to select "LI-AKKU" (lithium monobloc
battery) or "ALKALINE" (alkaline monobloc battery).
6. Hold down the SHIFT/SETUP button for approx. 2 sec to save the setting and exit the SETUP
menu. You will also exit SHIFT mode.
For a suitable alkaline battery, see the following part number: Item no. 652509
For a suitable lithium battery, see the following part number: Item no. 251292
10. SETTING THE TIME AND DATE
1. Set the time and date in the SETUP menu.
2. With the measuring device switched on, hold down the SHIFT/SETUP button (3) for approx. 2 s.
will appear on the display. You are now in SHIFT mode.
3. Hold down the SHIFT/SETUP button again for approx. 2 sec to open the SETUP menu.
4. The menu item "SET TIME" is selected. If not, press the SHIFT/SETUP button several times to
select the menu item "SET TIME". An asterisk symbol * to the left of the menu item "SET TIME"
shows that the menu item is selected.
