7.1. Installing the battery
Your meter requires a 9 V battery for power. The battery symbol
appears when the battery voltage drops to the certain limits. For
proper operation, replace the battery as soon as possible.
Continued use with a low battery will lead to abnormal readings.
Warning!
To avoid electric shock, disconnect both test leads from
equipment before you remove or install the battery.
Follow these steps to install the battery:
1. Turn off the power and disconnect the two test leads.
2. Remove the screw to open the battery compartment.
3. Remove the flat battery.
4. Place the new battery into the battery compartment.
5. Replace the back cover of battery compartment and secure
it with the screws.
WARNING! Do not operate the meter until you replace the
battery and close the battery compartment cover.
Notes:
Never leave a weak or dead battery in your meter. Even a
leakproof battery can leak damaging chemicals. When you are
not going to use your meter for a week or more, remove the
battery.
