The device should now display a reading of zero on the screen. The screen should not flash at all indicating a low battery and all of the digit should remain bright on the screen. The battery indication on the screen should also display a full battery charge.

The entire process took less time than I had estimated and no special tool were required in the process. I was finally able to return to my actual work.
