3 GETTING STARTED

3.1 FITTING BATTERIES
Your gauge may be used with dry cell batteries or rechargeable
batteries. 2 x LR6 (AA) alkaline batteries are supplied in the kit.
To fit or replace batteries:
1. Locate battery compartment cover (Figure 2) at top of
gauge.
2. Unscrew battery compartment cover.
3. Referring to battery polarity instructions on rear of gauge,
insert batteries into gauge ensuring correct polarity.
4. Replace battery compartment cover.
Note: Remove the batteries from the gauge if it is to remain
unused for a long period of time. This will prevent damage to the
gauge in the event of malfunction of the batteries.
When the battery voltage is low the entire display will start to
flash. When this occurs the batteries should be replaced.
Note: Alkaline batteries must be disposed of carefully to avoid
environmental contamination.
environmental authority for information on disposal in your region.
Do not dispose of any batteries in fire.
