Maintenance 

WARNING:  To avoid electric shock, disconnect the test leads from any source of voltage before 
removing the back cover or the battery or fuse covers. 

 

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate your meter until the battery and fuse covers are 
in place and fastened securely. 

This MultiMeter is designed to provide years of dependable service, if the following care instructions 
are performed: 

1. KEEP THE METER DRY. If it gets wet, wipe it off. 

2. USE AND STORE THE METER IN NORMAL TEMPERATURES. Temperature extremes can 

shorten the life of the electronic parts and distort or melt plastic parts. 

3. HANDLE THE METER GENTLY AND CAREFULLY. Dropping it can damage the electronic parts 

or the case. 

4. KEEP THE METER CLEAN. Wipe the case occasionally with a damp cloth. DO NOT use 

chemicals, cleaning solvents, or detergents. 

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 four screws 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. 

 

You, as the end user, are legally bound (EU Battery ordinance) to return all used 
batteries, disposal in the household garbage is prohibited! You can hand over your 
used batteries / accumulators at collection points in your community or wherever batteries 
/ accumulators are sold! 

Disposal: Follow the valid legal stipulations in respect of the disposal of the device at the 
end of its lifecycle 

WARNING: To avoid electric shock, do not operate your meter until the battery cover is in place and 
fastened securely.
