How do you change the batteries for the temp gauge? I see one mention of removing the entire panel and another at the bottom for the SPA392M model.

This product has the worst pressure ever. The batteries you have to pull off the knobs then the gray panel.

It's at the bottom, no need to remove entire panel. There is one small screw you will have to remove.

Did not know it had batteries. We're stuck on Celsius and have merely adjusted.

Open battery compartment and remove the batteries. °C / °F switch is accessible in the center of the battery compartment. Slide switch to °C or °F to set preferred temperature scale. Replace the batteries and close the battery door.

So funny.. i just replaced the batteries last night. AA batteries, it was easy to replace, there are some small screws. The batteries lasted over a year, but it is having some trouble in the cold weather. It is in the negatives here in NY and the outside temp is not reading.

I used mine all summer and never changed batteries. But I didn't use the light option and I can't think of anything else that would have drawn on the battery. Maybe the on/off switch? Hope this helps.

My two lamps are still putting out enough light. I haven't replaces batteries yet.I recall seeing that the existing batteries were rechargeable batteries. They did not look any different from the ones that are at a local hardware store. I suggest taking the top off the lamp and removing the screws that hold the panel to the metal top. You should have easy access to the batteries. Good luck.Ric G

Google the sensor and display to find the instructions. I seem to recall that there's a jumper on the circuit board that you need to set for one or two temp sensors. So I'd take a look at the docs before I gave up.

Unscrew the bottom and remove batteries. Replace with new batteries of supported size. Screw the bottom back on. Voila!

Fluke actually goes out of their way not to explain how to change the batteries. I'm guessing to get customers to purchase another meter versus changing the batteries. I sent them complaint email about this and encourage others to do the same.

get a really small screw driver and unscrew the two screws on the bottom... the screws are very long, so, keep unscrewing... then, unscrew the 1 screw that holds down the little rectangular door and take out the two batteries and replace them... they are 357/303 energizer batteries... now that I've taken mine out, I find they are corroded and need new ones... will try Batteries etc.

I believe you can replace the battery, but I personally have found it impossible. I bought my Tekton gauge in April 2013 and have only used it 3 times so I don't think the battery should be worn down. However, I turned it on today and it started flashing and will not now turn on or OFF - just keeps flashing. I think a new battery might fix this, but I can only get one of the tiny screws out. The other seems to be completely stuck. So I guess this gauge is now trash. I really think the battery should have lasted much longer and replacing the battery should not require removing hard to access tiny screws. I won't buy this brand again.

Flip the metal piece out, you'll see a panel you can remove to reveal the battery. I think there is some kind of plastic thing to keep the battery from draining prior to first time use. Just pull that thing out, replace the panel and you're good to go.

When you replace the battery then a setup about measure units to be shown appear. You can force this by removing the battery and put it back.

you unscrew the little screw in the back of the sensor. Remove the screw. Last, use your thumb to push at the center of the lid down and outward from the battery compartment. Best wishes.

The meter's box is held together by screws, so unscrew them to take it apart and then change the battery. There are no "battery doors" to access the battery, but I understand that the meter works a very long time on one battery - many years I would bet. There is no on/off switch on the meter because the moisture in the soil acts as the switch to engage the circuitry. A leaking battery would be the only issue, and that should not be as much of a problem if you keep the meter in a climate controlled enviroment (do not leave it in a hot or cold area like an unheated garage or shed). Hope this helps

They changed the control panel and it's really weird... I fiddled around and if you hold temp and temp up buttons simultaneously, it can be moved up. However, I just tried it on mine and it's been a few months and it got a little wonky...very cold out . So be careful and if I get to the right sequence and remember I'll repost and update. Good luck !

I would clean out the battery cavity good and replace the batteries. Make sure you scrap any rust particles out too. I've always changed the batteries on a regular basis and all of the outside casing and what looks like a window on top.
