Results and settings remain saved in the meter while
you change the batteries or if you store the meter
without batteries.
The meter has an built-in back-up battery. This pro-
vides the power when there are no batteries inserted.
The back-up battery lasts about 5 years. It cannot be
replaced if it is empty. An empty back-up battery has
no influence on the functioning of the meter.
If the back-up battery is empty, you still have 10 minu-
tes to change the batteries. only if more time than this
elapses does the meter forget the time and date and
dashes appear on the display instead of the time and
date. In this case, set the time and date again.
Never throw batteries into a fire. This is danger-
ous, because they may explode.
Please dispose of used batteries in an environ-
i
mentally friendly way such as at a collection
depot.
Remove the batteries if you will not be using
i
your meter for any length of time. The time and
date still remain saved in the meter.
