Preparing Your Multimeter
Checking the shipment
When you receive your multimeter, check the shipment
according to the following procedure.
1 Inspect the shipping container for damage. Signs of
damage may include a dented or torn shipping container
or cushioning material that indicates signs of unusual
stress or compacting. Save the packaging material in case
the multimeter needs to be returned.
2 Carefully remove the contents from the shipping
container, and verify that the standard accessories and
your ordered options are included in the shipment
according to the standard shipped items list found in the
printed copy of the U1231A/U1232A/U1233A Quick Start
Guide.
3 For any question or problems, refer to the Agilent contact
numbers on the back of this manual.
Installing the batteries
Your multimeter is powered by four 1.5 V AAA alkaline
batteries (included with the shipment). When you receive
your multimeter, the AAA alkaline batteries are not
installed.
Use the following procedure to install the batteries.
CAUTION
Before you proceed with the batteries installation, remove all cable
connections to the terminals and ensure that the rotary switch is at the
OFF position. Use only the battery type specified in the “Product
Characteristics” on page 102.
