FUSE REPLACEMENT, SETUP OF MEASURING DEVICE
General information
To ensure the accuracy of the multimeter over an extended period of time, it should be calibrated once
a year.
Information on replacing the battery and the fuses appears below. Use a clean, dry, lint-free, anti-static
cleaning cloth to clean the device, the display, and the test leads.
Note!
Do not use any carbon-containing cleaning agents, naphtha, alcohol, or the like to clean the product.
These could corrode the surface of the measuring device.
Furthermore, the fumes are hazardous to your health and explosive. You should also not use sharp-
edged tools, screwdrivers, or metal brushes or similar for cleaning.
Regularly check the technical safety of the device and the test leads, e.g., for damage to the housing or
pinching.
Before cleaning the device, observe the following safety information:
When you open covers or remove parts – unless you can do this by hand – live parts can
be exposed.
Before performing repair work, disconnect all connected lines from the device.
Repairs may only be performed by specialists familiar with the hazards involved and the relevant
regulations.

Replacing the battery

The measuring device requires a 9V battery to operate. If the low battery symbol appears on the display,
the battery must be replaced immediately.
Proceed as follows to replace the battery:
• Disconnect your measuring device from the measurement circuit.
• Remove all test leads and the adapter from the measuring device and turn off.
• Unscrew the back screw on the battery compartment cover (just one screw!), and pull the cover
vertically out of the housing.
• Replace the old battery with a new one of the same type.
• Close the cover again carefully. When inserting it, ensure that the connection lines do not get
pinched.
Never operate the measuring device when it is open.
LIFE-THREATENING DANGER!
Do not leave flat batteries in the device. Even batteries protected against leaking can corrode and thus
release chemicals that may be detrimental to your health or destroy the device.
