14. MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING
Except for the battery change and occasional cleaning, the device is maintenance-free. Use a clean, lint-free,
antistatic and dry cloth to clean the device. Do not use any abrasive or chemical agents or detergents containing
solvents.
Battery change
The battery condition is displayed with an icon in the display. The fill bars show the battery capacity.
Battery is full. Measurements are possible.
Battery is flat. To avoid wrong measurements, the battery must be replaced at once.
Proceed as follows to replace the batteries:
- Switch off the meter.
- Release the rear battery compartment screw (19) and lift the battery compartment lid (18) off of the housing.
- Replace the flat battery by a new alkaline one of the same type (e.g. 1604A).
- Close the casing carefully in the reverse order.
Do not leave flat batteries in the meter. Even batteries protected against leaking can corrode and
thus release chemicals which may be detrimental to your health or destroy the battery compart-
ment.
Batteries and rechargeable batteries must not be short-circuited or thrown into fire. Regular bat-
teries must not be recharged. Danger of explosion.
Leaking or damaged batteries/rechargeable batteries may cause alkali burns if they come in
contact with the skin. Therefore, use suitable protective gloves.
A matching alkaline battery is available under order no. 652509. Please order 1x.
