LITHIUM BATTERY

The Lithium battery, located on the underside of the Mastertech behind the NiCad battery pack, enables the
tester to retain setup information and data in its memory without being connected to an external power
source.
The Lithium battery should last approximately two years before replacement is necessary. The tester
displays the screen at left when the Lithium battery is discharged (dead) or a new battery has just been
installed. This screen is also displayed if the plastic strips are not removed before operating the tester for the
first time.

equivalent) battery when it becomes discharged.
1. Disconnect the power supply cable from the vehicle and from the tester.
2. Press P x to turn the tester off.
