REPLACING THE BATTERY
When the meter does not indicate greater than 80 micromhos in the “BAT.
CK.” position, replace the battery. The battery is located under the meter panel
of the instrument. Carefully remove the panel by unscrewing the four screws on
the front of the unit and lift the unit out. Make sure battery terminal contacts
are aligned with the correct terminals. Replace meter panel to instrument
housing.
