Preparation
Inserting the Batteries
To supply power to the instrument, the AC adapter (AC-A17) or four AA-size batteries (Alkaline or Ni-
MH battery is recommended for better service life) must be used. Use either the AC adapter or batteries,
according to which suits your application.
Note
• If you are not going to use the instrument for more than two weeks, make sure that the batteries are removed.
If the batteries are left in the instrument for long periods of time, battery electrolyte may leak and damage the
instrument.
• Do not use batteries of different types or mix new batteries with old ones. Doing so may result in battery explo-
sion or reduction of battery life.
• Do not touch or short-circuit the terminals inside the battery chamber. Doing so may result in breakdown of
the instrument.
