N O T I C E
When using nickel metal hydride (NiMH) batteries, the battery icon will not indicate
a full charge after freshly charged batteries have been inserted (NiMH batteries
are 1.2 V versus 1.5 V for alkaline batteries). Even though the icon does not indicate
complete charge, 2300 mAH NiMH batteries will achieve 90% of instrument
operation lifetime (before recharge) versus new alkaline batteries.
N O T I C E
To avoid potential damage to the meter from battery leakage, remove the meter
batteries prior to extended periods of non-use.
The meter can be powered with AA alkaline or rechargeable NiMH

of inactivity. This time can be changed in the Display Options menu.
