4. Operation
Warning
• When inserting batteries, note the correct
polarity (+ and - markings) and insert the
batteries accordingly. Failure to do so could
result in the batteries leaking or exploding.
• Only use batteries (or rechargeable batteries)
that match the specified type.
• Before you insert the batteries, clean the battery
contacts and the polarity contacts.
• Do not allow children to change batteries
without supervision.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or
batteries of different types or from different
manufacturers.
• Remove the batteries from products that are not
being used for an extended period (unless these
are being kept ready for an emergency).
• Do not short-circuit batteries.
• Do not charge batteries.
• Do not burn batteries.
• Keep batteries out of the reach of children.
• Never open, damage or swallow batteries or allow
them to enter the environment. They can contain
toxic, environmentally harmful heavy metals.
• Remove spent batteries from the product and
dispose of them without delay.
• Avoid storing, charging and using in extreme
temperatures and at extremely low atmospheric
pressures (such as at high altitudes).
Remove the battery compartment cover on the back
and insert an AAA battery, observing the correct
polarity. The measuring device is then immediately
ready for use.
4.1 Measurements
Only one battery / rechargeable battery should be
tested at a time. Its residual voltage is shown via
the LCD display.
1. Select the testing field according to the size of
the battery or use the appropriate shapes of the
housing. The corresponding designations of the
batteries are imprinted into the housing. Insert
button cells with the positive pole facing upwards.
2. Observe the correct polarity and secure contact. Do
not position batteries at an angle. Button cells must
lie on the lateral measuring contact.
3. The LCD bar display shows the test object's
residual voltage.
4.2 Display
I----1 to 5----I
Batteries: Empty - replace
Rechargeable batteries: Already fully discharged -
charge immediately. Discharging of rechargeable
batteries down to this field should be avoided.
I---------------I----- 6 to 11-------I
Batteries: Weak, little remaining energy, can only
be used to a limited extent in consumers with low
current requirements, e.g. clocks, etc.
Rechargeable batteries: Recharging point reached -
charge as soon as possible
I---------------I--------------------l-------12 to
18-------I
Batteries: OK, stored energy sufficient
Rechargeable batteries: Due to lower cell voltages,
rechargeable batteries only reach 13/14 bars at
full charge.
Display falls quickly: Battery / rechargeable battery
faulty and should no longer be used, e.g. high
internal resistance during measurement.
Do not use flat or damaged cells any further. After
measurement is finished, remove the test object
from the device - do not carry out any long-term
measurements.
