NOTE:
The battery pack fits in to the compartment
one way only. If the pack is inserted incorrectly the
battery cover will not close properly.
NOTE:
Only use battery packs supplied by the
manufacturer. The use of any other type of battery
will immediately invalidate the warranty!
NOTE:
Dispose the used battery pack in accordance of
your local regulations.

display facing up.
2. Press the two charging contacts simultaneously to
release the battery pack.
3. Place the new battery pack into the battery
compartment and close the battery cover by
pressing it lightly.

11.4. Storage

pipette. This protects the batteries against discharging
