Battery Life & Replacement
If the battery low symbol ( ) appears on the display, replace
both batteries at the same time.
- When the battery low symbol ( ) starts to blink, you will still
be able to use the unit for a short while. You should replace
the batteries with new ones ahead of time.
- When the symbol ( ) remains lit, the batteries were
exhausted. You should replace the batteries with new ones at
once.
• Turn the unit off before replacing the batteries.
• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three
months or more.
• If the batteries are removed, the Date/Time setting will need to
be reset. See “2.2 Setting the Date and Time” for details.
• Dispose of batteries according to applicable local regulations.
• Two new identical 1.5V “AAA” alkaline (LR03) batteries will last
for approximately 300 measurements, when used to take two
measurements a day.
• Since the supplied batteries are for monitoring use only, they
may have a shorter life and not last for 300 measurements.
