damage. Take particular note of any evidence of rough handling in transit.

BATTERY INSTALLATION
A 9 V battery is supplied with the instrument but not installed. To install the
battery, remove the cover from the battery compartment by sliding it off in the
direction of the arrow located on the battery cover. The battery connector snaps
on and off the terminals of the battery. Improper installation of the battery will
cause the connecting wires to be severed by excess strain. Proper installation
requires that the battery be positioned in such a manner (see Figure 2-1) that the
leads protruding from the boot of the battery connector face toward the outside
of the battery compartment. If the instrument is going to be stored for a long
period of time or in a high temperature environment, remove the battery to
prevent damage due to leakage.
WARNING
Turn the model 871/872A off and disconnect the input probes before
replacing the battery. Put the cover back into place on the battery com-
partment before resuming use of the instrument.
