W Warning
Batteries contain hazardous chemicals that can cause burns or
explode. If exposure to chemicals occurs, clean with water and
get medical aid. To prevent injury and for safe operation and
maintenance:
• Remove all probes, test leads, and accessories before the
battery door is opened.
• Do not disassemble the battery.
• Repair the Product before use if the battery leaks.
• Remove batteries to prevent battery leakage and damage
to the Product if it is not used for an extended period.

battery leakage.
• Do not short the battery terminals together.

packs.
