# Operation with Batteries/Rechargeable Batteries

To switch from a lithium-ion battery pack (12) to non-rechargeable/NiMH batteries, remove the lithium-ion battery pack (12).

Using alkali-manganese non-rechargeable batteries or NiMH rechargeable batteries is recommended for operation of the measuring tool.

Insert the non-rechargeable batteries/rechargeable batteries.

When inserting the batteries, ensure that the polarity is correct according to the illustration on the inside of the battery compartment.

Insert the battery compartment cover (16) and let it click into place.

Always replace all the batteries at the same time. Only use batteries from the same manufacturer and which have the same capacity.

- Take the batteries out of the measuring tool when you are not using it for a prolonged period of time. The batteries can corrode during prolonged storage in the measuring tool.
