  • Page 106 11.1 Replacing Batteries Replace batteries as soon as the battery indicator turns on to avoid false measurements. If the batteries discharge too deeply the CL310 will automatically shut down to avoid battery leakage. Note: Use only AA size alkaline batteries or optional rechargeable battery pack.
