REPLACING THE FUSES 

WARNING: 

To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the meter from any circuit, remove the test leads 

from the input terminals, and turn OFF the meter before opening the case. Do not operate the meter 
with an open case. 

1.  Disconnect the test leads from the meter. 
2.  Remove the protective rubber holster. 
3.  Remove the battery cover (two “B” screws) and the 

battery. 

4.  Remove the four “A” screws securing the rear cover. 
5.  Lift the center circuit board straight up from the 

connectors to gain access to the fuse holders.  

6.  Gently remove the old fuse and install the new fuse 

into the holder. 

7.  Always use a fuse of the proper size and value 

(0.5A/600V fast blow for the 400mA range, 
10A/600V fast blow for the 10A range). 

8.  Align the center board with the connectors and gently press into place. 
9.  Replace and secure the rear cover, battery and battery cover. 

WARNING

: To avoid electric shock, do not operate your meter until the fuse cover is in place and 

fastened securely.
