8. Maintenance
8.1 Cleaning and Storage
Wipe the housing with a damp cloth as needed. Use a high quality lens wipe to remove
dirt or smudges from the meter lenses and display window. Please do not use abrasives
or solvents to clean the meter housing, lenses, or display window. If the meter is to be
stored for an extended period, remove the batteries and store them separately.
8.2 Battery Replacement
The Battery symbol flashes with no ‘bars’ when the battery voltage has reached a
critical level. The meter displays readings within specifications while the low battery
indicator is on and powers off before it displays an out of tolerance reading.
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the meter from any connected circuits,
remove the test leads from the meter terminals, and set the function switch to the OFF
position before attempting to replace the batteries.
1.
Remove the battery cover (attached to tilt stand) by first unlocking it. To do so, use
a flat-head screwdriver to move the lock/unlock screw to the unlocked position.
2.
Remove the battery cover and replace the three-1.5V ‘AA’ batteries observing
correct polarity.
3.
If using the Model TA04 rechargeable lithium-polymer battery system, please
recharge the rechargeable battery.

Secure the battery compartment cover before use.
8.3 Fuse Replacement
Access the two fuses by first unlocking the battery/fuse compartment cover (attached
to the tilt stand). To do so, use a flat-head screwdriver to move the locking/unlocking
screw to the unlocked position. Then remove the two small Phillips-heads screws to
open the fuse compartment. The fuse ratings are:
FS1: 11A, 1KV FAST
