1. The battery condition indicator shows 4 levels of battery state When the battery indication is low there is approximately enough energy for another 10 hours of use Power Meter This battery symbol shows when external power is not connected To save energy the instrument automatically turns off after 10 minutes without operation This battery symbol shows when external power is connected To change the batteries open the cover of the battery compartment at the base of the instrument remove the batteries insert new ones check polarity indication on plastic case and close the cover again 2000 UM 1 If the batteries are changed quickly instrument date and time are retained however if the batteries are taken out for longer or are finished then date and time will need re entering Enabling Battery Charging As delivered use of external power disconnects the batteries as a safety precaution since accidental charging of alkaline cells is hazardous However users who are only going to use re chargeable batteries can enable the battery charging feature by inserting a programming jumper onto charging pins in the battery compartment Figure 1 Attempting to recharge normal alkaline batteries may lead to acid leakage and instrument damage To Enable Charging Feature The programming jumper is placed to link the two left pins Figure 1A To Disable Charging Feature The programming jumper
