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.
