When the low battery symbol appears, the cells are
nearly exhausted and should be replaced as soon as
possible. When the battery is exhausted, the instrument
will not perform tests and the cells must be replaced.
Use alkaline cells IEC LR6 (AA) or 1,5V nickel cadmium,
(NiCd) or Nickel Metal Hydride, (NiMH), cells only.
To install or replace the cells, disconnect the test leads,
switch the instrument off and loosen the captive screws
holding the battery compartment cover in place.
Remove the cover, lift out and disconnect the battery
holder to access the cells. Replace the cells, ensuring
that correct polarity is observed (shown on battery
holder moulding).
Incorrect battery cell polarity
can cause electrolyte leakage resulting in
damage to the instrument
Carefully re-connect the battery holder to the
connector, replace the battery holder in the
compartment, and re-secure the cover. Remove the
cells if the instrument is not going to be used for any
extended period of time. Stored results are retained
when the battery is disconnected.

Test Leads
All test leads form part of the measuring circuit of the
instrument and must not be modified or changed in any
way, or be used with any other electrical instrument or
appliance. The power cord supplied with the Installation
Testers is a test lead that forms part of the measuring
circuit of the instrument. The overall length of this lead
must not be altered. If the power cord plug is not
suitable for your type of socket outlets, do not use an
adapter. You may change the plug once only by cutting
the cord as close to the plug as possible and fitting a
suitable plug.
The colour code of the cord is:
Earth (Ground)
Yellow/Green
Neutral
Blue
Phase (Line)
Brown
Note: A plug severed from the power cord must be
destroyed, as a plug with bare conductors is hazardous
in a live socket outlet.
