2.The same procedure shall be repeated on the same side, but this

time about 1 cm (1/2") above the lower corner. Picture 24

Now the cover is open on one side.

3.Points 1 through 2 will also have to be repeated on the opposite

side. Pictures 25 and 26 

Now the cover can be easily lifted off.

Closing the Case

Place the cover flush with the open field meter. Ensure that the
battery check button, the light diode and the frequency filter but-
ton all fit snugly into their designated openings in the cover. Using
thumbs and pointing fingers of both hands, press down on the
cover with a steady and gentle pressure. As a result, the cover will
snap into its place on both sides. Picture 27

Removing Batteries

Change batteries only while the instrument is turned off!

After having opened the cover, the rechargeable battery including
its clip can be removed or lifted out sideways.

In order to remove the battery clip from the rechargeable battery,
slip the small end of the wedge as far up between both contacts
as possible, then move the wide end of the wedge up and down.
Thus the clip can be easily detached. Picture 28

Picture 28

Under no circumstances ever pull at the leads or the plastic clip of the contacts; otherwise
they can easily be damaged or broken.

Inserting Batteries

Attach the new rechargeable battery to the battery clip and place it back into the battery com-
partment. While putting the battery back into the compartment, ensure that none of the battery
