Inserting/replacing the battery
♦ Remove the protective cap and undo the four screws
on the rear of the device.
♦ Remove the rear part of the housing.
♦ Insert a battery of type CR2032 in the battery holder.

In this mode, you can compare the paint thicknesses on
various surfaces: for example, on one particular vehicle.
This is useful for determining diff erences in paint thicknesses.
For example, you can quickly fi nd out whether a surface has
been repainted or fi lled.
