  6. Getting started

6-1 Battery voltage check 

(1)  Please  refer  to  “10.  Replacing  batteries”  in  this  manual  and 

insert batteries in KEW4300.

(2)  Hold  down  the  Power  button  at  least  1  sec  and  power  on 

KEW4300.

    *  A long press of 1 sec or longer is required to power on/ off the 

instrument. It is to prevent a malfunction. 

(3)  The  battery  voltage  is  extremely  low  when  the  “

“  symbol 

appears  at  the  upper  left  corner  on  the  LCD.  Replace  the 

batteries with reference to “10. Replacing batteries” to carry out 

further measurements. 

The  use  of  size AA  alkaline  battery  is  recommended. The  Battery 

symbol may not appear correctly when the other types of batteries 

are used. 

6-2 Attaching metal tip/ adapter 

The  metal  tip  for  the  H+S(C+P)  terminal  and  the  adapters  for 

MODEL7248  to  be  connected  to  the  E  terminal  are  replaceable 

depending on applications.

DANGER

Always  attach  and  use  the  M-8253  and  the Alligator  clip  to  use 

this  instrument  in  the  CAT.III  or  higher  environments. The  other 

metal  tips:  M-8072,  M-8017  and  the  Flat  test  bar  have  a  large 

exposed  metal  and  may  short  the  equipment  under  test.  It  may 

cause  a  malfunction  of  the  equipment  under  test,  a  fire  or  fatal/ 

serious injuries to the user or the people around.

(1) Replaceable metal tip 

      The metal tips are replaceable depending on applications.

    [Available tip metal tips]

    1.  MODEL8072 :  Standard metal tip installed at a shipment

    2.  MODEL8253 : Metal tip with plastic molded

    3.  MODEL8017 :  Long  type  and  helpful  to  access  the  distant 

measurement spot
