• The socket must be installed close to the product and must be easily accessible.
• Disconnect the product from the power supply using the On/Off switch ­ if this is not available, unplug the power cord from the socket.
• If using a multi-socket power strip, make sure that the total power consumption of all connected devices does not exceed the power strip’s maximum throughput rating.
• If you will not be using the product for a prolonged period, disconnect it from mains power.

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 the measurement is finished, remove the test object from the device – do not carry out any long- term measurements.

Care and maintenance

**Note
** Disconnect the device from the mains before cleaning and during prolonged periods of non-use.
