I have a Mitutoyo digital vernier 200mm Code 500-197, model CD-8"CS. I replaced the battery then turned it on ,the numbers on the screen would not absolute all sorts of numbers were coming out, I pressed and held the origin button to get rid of the (inc) top left of screen and pressed zero to get it back to 0, tried this many times to no avail, it was working perfecty before the battery went flat when it showed an error message. I do not have the original instruction manual, and wish to locate them on the net somewhere. i would like to know the answer to this mystery or where I can get a copy of an instruction manual? Thanks.

The Mitutoyo 500-115 caliper does not have an off button. It automatically shuts off after two hours of non use. Very frustrating since after just a few times of using the calipers 6+ hours of time has been used on the battery and consequently it doesn't last long. I am in the middle of adding a switched battery holder to my calipers. I have already milled a channel for the wires and tomorrow I do some soldering and two sided 3M tape to mount it to the back. The switched holder is Adafruit 12mm Coin Cell Breakout w/On-Off Switch [ADA1867]. The battery you should use is 1.55V Number 390 (Energizer). We'll see how this turns out. Sick of putting batteries in it. Go figure total cost of all of this is around $15 which includes a new 390 cell from the hardware store. That's about 5 years worth of batteries. Maybe it's the principle of it. At lease now if/when I do replace the battery, no disassembly required.

In mitutoyo digital vernier battry inserted upper portion side by display you battry cover theire is an arrow mark downward release you will find battery in side remove it and put new one battery code Sr 44 you will from marketor in mall try it

I`ve already given the 5 digit code for this Serial Number (It says it`s a 5 digit in my database)

If it`s the 4 digit code then try 8 9 8 3

Sounds like the new battery you installed is no good. Is the display also dim? When the battery is low that is one of the results on the Mitutoyo. Do you have another battery to try in it?

The answers above by Kerry Littleton have nothing to do with our calipers. The answer above by Bob Pulver is well-intentioned but doesn't address the real issue.

The real issue is the ORIGIN button is little-used and a bit reluctant to "make". The solution is to use a blunt plastic probe to REALLY PUSH down the button and hold it. The caliper will reset to zero.

There should be a small set screw you can loosen by hand and adjust the face of the dial to zero with the jaws closed....this is typical of most calipers...it allows you to zero the dial on a given thickness of material and only read variations based on that thickness.
Take care.

You can simply remove the negative battery cable for 1 min for the same effect.

The battery compartment is on the front of the instrument. The cover is round and has some symbols that resemble arrows pointing down. Slide the round cover down to access the battery.

I found this in another website... i hope this can help you. I'll try too...

Found this on the web, hope it helps.
