Figure 2-6. Each battery has its own slot. To insure proper
polarity, place the bottom (flat) or negative end of the battery
in the end of the holder marked “–”. Place the top (button) or
positive end of the battery in the end of the holder marked
“+”. Do this for each battery.

unit is in the unlocked position ready for calibration.

reason the instrument defaults to the calibration mode. All
