Replace Batteries and Fuses

XW

 Warning

To prevent false readings, which could lead to possible electric shock or personal 
injury, replace the batteries as soon as the battery indicator (

P

) appears.

To prevent damage or injury, install ONLY replacement fuses with the specified 

amperage, voltage, and interrupt ratings.
Disconnect test leads before you open the case or the battery door.

Dispose of old devices in a professional and environmentally appropriate manner.

Delete personal data on the Product before disposal.

Remove batteries that are not integrated into the electrical system before disposal. 

Dispose of batteries separately.

To replace the batteries or fuses, see 

Figure 2

.

Figure 2. Replace Batteries and Fuses

Performance Tests

Use the performance tests to make sure the Device Under Test (DUT) operates properly and to 

make sure the DUT is accurate. If the DUT fails any part of the performance test, repair and/or 

calibration adjustment are required. See 

Temperature Connections

If the DUT continues to fail 

to meet the range indicated, see 

Contact Fluke
