by itself. This means that the batteries will not provide enough power for a test. You must change the batteries.

To replace the batteries, make sure that the meter is turned off. Turn the meter over and locate the battery compartment.

1. Press down with both thumbs on each side of the battery cover’s imprinted arrow. Then slide the battery cover away in the direction of the arrow.

2. Remove the old batteries. Insert two 1.5 V #357 silver oxide batteries, making sure the positive “+” side of each battery is facing up in the meter.

3. Place the three tabs of the battery cover into the three slots in the meter. Push the battery cover upward in the direction of its imprint- ed arrow to align the sides of the battery cover with the meter. Slide the battery cover down into place until it clicks.

Note:

Replacing the batteries does not affect the meter’s memory (previous test results stored in memory). However, the date and time settings may need to be updated.

The first time you turn on the meter after replacing the batteries, it will go into the set- ting mode. At this time, you should update the date and time settings.
