The performance and useful life of rechargeable batteries
depends to a large extent on the quality of the battery
charger you are using.
Owing to the higher power consumption, we advise against
using rechargeable batteries if the brightness of the display is
set to level 3 (high) or if Acoustic Mode is set to on.
Never throw batteries into a fire. This is dangerous because they
may explode.
Remove the batteries if you will not be using your meter for any
i
length of time. When you insert the batteries again, remember to
set the year, time and date.

Dispose of used batteries in an environmentally-friendly way at a
collection depot or through your dealer.
