Changing the batteries

203

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 inbuilt back-up battery. This provides 

the power when there are no batteries in inserted. The 

back-up battery lasts about 5 years. It cannot be re-

placed if it is empty. An empty back-up battery has no 

in

fl

uence 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 

fi

re. This is dange-

rous, because they may explode.

i

  Please dispose of used batteries in an environ-

mentally friendly way at an apprpopriate collec-

tion depot. For information about correct dis-

posal, please contact your local council or 

authority.

i

  Remove the batteries if you will not be using 

your meter for any length of time. The time and 

date still remain saved in the meter.
