See section 5.5.1 for specific instructions
concerning the storage of rechargeable / Li-
Ion versions of the MultiPro.
5.3

Batteries

The MultiPro is powered by interchangeable
alkaline and Li-Ion rechargeable battery
packs.
Note: The calibration adapter or sample
draw adapter must be removed from the
MultiPro prior to removing the battery
pack.
To remove the battery pack first loosen the
top center screw on the back of the
instrument, then gently pry the two clasps at
the top of the instrument open while
simultaneously pulling the back cover plate
away from the main instrument housing.
Since the battery pack is housed in the back
cover plate, this will automatically disconnect
power from the instrument.
Note: Center screw on ATEX / European
version is slightly different.
CAUTION Always turn the MultiPro off
prior to removing the battery pack.
Removal of the battery pack with the
instrument turned on may cause
corruption of stored data in the MultiPro.
5.4

Replacing alkaline batteries

The alkaline battery pack contains three AA
alkaline batteries.
The MultiPro must be
located in a non-hazardous location
whenever alkaline batteries are removed
from the alkaline battery pack. Removal of
the alkaline batteries from the battery pack
in a hazardous area may impair intrinsic
safety.
or Ultra MX1500, Eveready Energizer E91-
LR6, Eveready EN91 batteries.
Substitution of batteries may impair
intrinsic safety.
To replace the alkaline batteries:
1. Remove the battery pack
from the MultiPro as
discussed in above in
section 5.3.
2. Remove the three alkaline
batteries and replace them.
Be sure to align the positive
and negative ends in
accordance with the
diagram under each
battery.
3. Reinstall the back cover plate that was
removed in step 2.
4. Return the battery pack to the MultiPro
and re-tighten the top center screw. The
MultiPro will automatically turn itself on
once the battery pack is reinstalled.
5.5 Maintaining Li-Ion battery
packs
The MultiPro may be equipped with a
rechargeable Li-Ion (Lithium Ion) battery pack.
5.5.1 Storage guidelines for the Li-Ion
versions
Rechargeable batteries gradually lose their
charge when not being used and may suffer
irreversible damage if the battery reaches and
remains in a state of complete discharge.
Honeywell Analytics recommends fully
charging the MultiPro Li-Ion battery at two-
month intervals during storage to prevent
damage to the battery. Rechargeable
versions of MultiPro may also be stored for
long periods of time on a powered MultiPro
charger with no ill effects.
Storage of Li-Ion batteries at temperatures
above 30C/86F may damage the internal
components of the battery and lead to
reduced battery capacity and voltage.
