Battery Check
1. Plug the black test lead into the COM input terminal, and plug the red test lead into the
V
Ω
BAT input terminal.
2. Set range selector to the appropriate BATT TEST range.
Note: To measure the voltage of a 1.5-volt battery, set the range selector to 1.5 V BATT TEST.
To measure the voltage of a 9-volt battery, set the range selector to 9V BATT TEST.
3. Touch the red test probe to the positive (+) terminal of the battery, and touch the black test
probe to the negative (–) terminal of the battery.
4. Read the display.
Note: The voltage on the display is the voltage of the battery under load. The load current for
the 9V battery is approximately 9 mA. The load current for the 1.5V battery is
approximately 150 mA. The display value corresponds with the battery’s residual
voltage.
