•  Remove the yellow shockproof housing.
•  Remove the two screws from the back of the instrument (Figure 11).
•  Remove the back cover.
•  Replace the fuse or batteries.

NOTE: 

The instrument will operate correctly with a battery voltage 

range of (4.5 to 6.5) V.

•  Reverse the above procedure to install the back cover and the shock proof 

housing.

• 

To close the back stand flush with the back cover, apply light pressure at 

Point A in Figure 11.
