Disconnect the probe from the instrument. Open the rear battery compartment using a screwdriver to remove the two Phillips head screws that secure the compartment. Carefully remove the old battery from the compartment and gently unsnap the battery’s terminals from the wired (red/black) connectors. Install a new 9V battery by snapping the battery terminals onto the wired connectors (observing correct polarity) and inserting the battery into the compartment. Install the battery chamber into the meter housing and secure with the two screws. Never dispose of used batteries or rechargeable batteries in household waste. As consumers, users are legally required to take used batteries to appropriate collection sites, the retail store where the batteries were purchased, or wherever batteries are sold.
