VT10   V2.0  08/06 

Maintenance 

Battery replacement

 

1. 

Disconnect the meter from any test device or circuit before 
opening the tester. 

2. 

Loosen the recessed Phillips head screw at the bottom of the 
tester. Do not remove the screw. 

3. 

Hold the meter and pull the lower portion of the meter off until 
the batteries are exposed. 

4. 

Replace the two ‘AAA’ batteries observing polarity and dispose 
of the old batteries properly. 

5. 

Slide the meter back together and replace the screw. 

Cleaning and Storage 

Before cleaning the tester, ensure that the test leads are not connected to any circuit or 
device. Wipe the meter only with a damp cloth as needed. Do not apply abrasives, solvents, 
or other cleaners to the surface of the meter. Store with the battery removed and avoid 
extreme temperature and humidity.
