□ 

Disconnect the test leads and any connectors from the terminals on the meter. 

□ 

Use a screwdriver to unscrew and remove the battery cover located on the back of the meter. If you are replacing the fuse, unscrew all 
of the screws on the back of the meter. 

□ 

Remove the used batteries or damaged fuse. 

□ 

Replace with a new battery or fuse. 

□ 

Reattach the battery cover and secure with the screws. 

TEST LEAD REPLACEMENT 

Replacement test leads must meet the manufacturer’s specifications (EN 610 10-031 standard, CAT III 600V 10A, or better). 

 

Care and Cleaning 

 

 

□ 

Periodically wipe the meter with a damp cloth and mild detergent.  

□ 

Do not use abrasives or solvents. 

□ 

Dirt or moisture in the terminals can affect readings. 
 

To clean the terminals: 

□ 

Turn the meter off and remove all test leads. 

□ 

Shake out any dirt that may be in the terminals. 

□ 

Soak a new cotton swab with a cleaning and oiling agent (such as WD-40). 

□ 

Work the swab around in each terminal. The oiling agent insulates the terminals from moisture-related contamination.
