7. Maintenance
Your digital multimeter is a precision electronic devise. Do not tamper
with the circuitry. To avoid damage:
1.
Never connect more than 600 V DC or AC
rms
2.
Never connect a source of voltage with function switch on Ω
position and
- position.
3.
Never operate the DMM unless the battery cover is in place and
fully closed.
4.
Battery and/or fuse replacement should only be done after the test
leads have been disconnected and power is off.
7.1. Battery Replacement
The battery symbol appears when the battery voltage drops to certain
limits. For correct operation, replace the battery as soon as possible.
Continued use with a low battery will lead to errors in readings.
WARNING!
To avoid electric shock, disconnect all leads from any equipment before
you remove or install the battery.
Follow these steps to install the battery:
Set the Rotary Selector Switch to the Off - position.
Remove the 2 screws to open the battery compartment.
Remove the spent battery and replace it with a battery of the same
type.
WARNING!
Do not operate the meter until you replace the battery and close the
battery compartment cover.
