Changing the batteries

Changing the batteries
The message Batteries low Replace batteries appears on the screen when the batteries are almost
empty. It appears every time you turn the meter off if you have not yet changed the batteries. After the
message appears for the first time, you can still perform about 50 tests.
Change the batteries as soon as possible.
You need 2 alkaline-manganese batteries type AAA, LR 03, AM 4 or micro (1.5 V) or 2 lithium batteries
type AAA, FR 03, L 92 or 2 rechargeable NiMH batteries (type AAA). Always replace both batteries at the
same time.
With the batteries supplied, you can perform approximately 500 tests or perform tests for about 1 year.
When you use new batteries, the number of tests can vary depending on the battery manufacturer. In
order to be able to continue performing a high number of tests, use batteries with as high performance
characteristics as possible (high energy content and low self-discharge).
Specific settings increase the power consumption and thereby reduce the life expectancy of the batteries.
The following settings increase the power consumption:
• Brightness of screen set to level 3
• Volume set to level 4 or 5
• Acoustic mode on
