Replacing the Battery
When the “LOBT” or Low Battery symbol is shown on the Display Screen, the batteries
are low and must be replaced.
Remove the screw on the Battery Compartment, and replace the batteries with (3) new
batteries of the same type (3VDC CR2032). Be sure all three batteries have the “+”
side facing upward. Incorrect battery polarity will prevent proper operation of the meter.
NOTE: You may have to remove the clip to access the Battery Compartment.
