c) Removing the battery compartment cover
The multimeter casing is designed so that you can only access the battery compartment.
This makes the multimeter safer and easier to use.
Proceed as follows:
- Disconnect all test leads from the multimeter and switch it off.
- Remove the current clamp from all circuits.
- Loosen the screw on the battery compartment cover (15) using a suitable screwdriver.
- Remove the battery compartment cover.
- You can now access the batteries.
- When removing the battery compartment cover, check the rubber seal for dirt and clean
it if necessary. This ensures that the multimeter remains dust- and splash-proof.
- Replace the battery compartment cover and screw it in place.
- The multimeter is now ready for use again.
