device (OFF).
Unlock the battery compartment (4) counter-clockwise with
a small coin or a wide flat-head screwdriver until the mark
points at the open lock symbol "Unlocked".
Pull the battery compartment cover from the meter.

compartment in the proper polarity. Observe the polarity
indications on the battery compartment cover (+ and -).
