Warning

To avoid false readings, which could lead to
possible electric shock or personal injury,
replace the batteries as soon as the battery
icon (

A flashing battery icon means that battery failure is
imminent. The backlight cannot be used in this condition.
MIN MAX and FAST MN MX features turn off. For Model
189, logging and communications also cease.
