INSTALLING A
BATTERY
Your multimeter requires one AAA
battery (not supplied) for power. For
the best performance and longest life,
we recommend a RadioShack alka-
line battery.
Warnings:
To avoid electrical shock, discon-
nect both of the multimeter’s test
leads from any equipment before
you install or remove the multim-
eter’s battery.
Do not operate your multimeter
until the battery is properly
installed and the back cover is in
place and secured.
Caution:
Use only a fresh battery of
the required size and recommended
type.
Follow these steps to install the bat-
tery.
1. Set the function selector to
OFF
to turn off the multimeter if it is
on, then disconnect the test
leads if they are connected.
2. Use a Phillips screwdriver to
remove the screw on the upper
back of the multimeter. Then pull
up the top cover to remove it.
3. Use a Phillips screwdriver to
remove the screw on the lower
back of the multimeter, then
remove the multimeter’s back
cover.
