Safety Shutdown

(Rechargeable) battery voltage is less than or equal to 8.0 V.

Reliable measurement is no longer possible.

Storage of measured values to memory is disabled.

Remedy: Rechargeable NiMH batteries must be recharged, or batteries must be

replaced towards the end of their service life.
