However, the meter continues to measure correctly evenwhen the low battery indication is displayed. The meter automaticallyswitches itself off when the batteries are too weak to support properfunction.For long term field and lab applications, these meters can be connectedto a 12 Vdc adapter.In addition, the meters allow the user to enter an ID code to uniquelyidentify the instruments.
