8. Maintenance
General Maintenance
Periodically wipe the case with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
Do not use abrasives or solvents. Dirt or moisture in the terminals
can affect readings. Clean the terminals as follows:
1. Turn the meter off and remove all test leads.
2. Shake out any dirt that may be in the terminals.
3. Soak a new swab with alcohol. Work the swab around each
terminal.
Replacing the Batteries
Replace the batteries with two “AA” batteries (R6P) or equivalent.
Warning
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible
electric shock or personal injury, replace the batteries as
soon as the low battery indicator ( ) appears.
Replace the batteries as follows (refer to Figure 18):
1. Turn the Function Rotary Switch to the
OFF
position and remove
the test leads from the terminals.
2. Remove the battery door by using a screwdriver to turn the
battery door screw counterclockwise.
3. Replace the batteries. Secure the door by turning the screws
clockwise.
