Replacing the batteries
Unscrew the battery compartment locking screw with a screwdriver or a small coin.
Remove the battery compartment cover. Remove the old batteries.
Insert a new set of batteries (four AA batteries). Do not use rechargeable batteries, since they may not function properly (the inner resistance of some
rechargeable batteries is too high). Insert the batteries in accordance with the diagrams inside the battery compartment, with the +terminals pointing
downwards on the display side of the tonometer (the rear side), and the -terminals pointing downwards on the measurement side (the front side).
Replace the battery compartment cover and secure it by screwing it in lightly using the coin or screwdriver. Take care not to use excessive force when
screwing the cover into place.
