ALL OPERATION DIFFICULTIES

If this meter does not function properly for any reason, replace the batteries with new, high quality batteries (see the “Battery Replacement” section). Low battery power can occasionally cause any number of “apparent” operational difficulties. Replacing the batteries with new fresh batteries will solve most difficulties.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

An erratic display, faint display, no display, or a battery symbol appearing on the display are all indicators that the batteries need to be replaced. The battery cover is located at the bottom of the unit. While holding the unit upside down, unscrew the battery cover by turning it counter-clockwise. Remove the exhausted batteries and replace them with four (4) new AAA alkaline batteries. Make certain to insert the new batteries with the proper polarity as indicated by the “+” and “-“ symbols in the battery compartment. Replace the battery cover and tighten securely.
