5.

USE ONLY FRESH BATTERIES OF THE RECOMMENDED SIZE

AND TYPE.

Remove old or weak batteries so they do not leak and

damage the unit.

6.

IF THE METER IS TO BE STORED FOR A LONG PERIOD OF

TIME

, the batteries should be removed to prevent damage to the unit.

BATTERY INSTALLATION

WARNING

: To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any

source of voltage before removing the battery cover.

1. Turn power off and disconnect the test leads from the meter.
2. Open the rear battery cover by removing two screws (B) using a

Phillips head screwdriver.

3. Insert the battery into battery holder, observing the correct polarity.
4. Put the battery cover back in place. Secure with the screws.

WARNING:

To avoid electric shock, do not operate the meter until the

battery cover is in place and fastened securely.

NOTE:

If your meter does not work properly, check the fuses and

batteries to make sure that they are still good and that they are

properly inserted.
