Use a clean, damp, lint-free and antistatic cloth to clean the device, display and test
leads. Allow the device to dry completely before using it again.
14.3 Opening the battery and fuse compartment
For safety reasons, fuses and batteries may only be replaced after all test leads
were removed from the multimeter. You cannot open the battery and fuse compart-
ment (I) when the test leads are connected to the sockets.
In addition, the measurement sockets are automatically locked when the battery and
fuse compartment is opened to prevent leads from being inserted. The sockets are
unlocked when the battery and fuse compartment is closed.
The multimeter casing is designed so that you can only access the battery and fuse
compartment. The casing does not need to be opened and disassembled.
This makes the multimeter safer and easier to use.
Follow the steps below to open the battery and fuse com-
partment:
Disconnect all test leads from the multimeter and
switch it off.
Unfold the fold-out stand on the back of the multimeter.
Loosen and remove the battery compartment screw (I)
on the back of the multimeter.
Remove the cover of the battery and fuse compart-
ment (P) by sliding it upwards and then lifting it off the
device. You should first disconnect all test leads from
the multimeter to be able to remove the cover.
You should now be able to access the fuses and the
battery compartment.
Repeat the above steps in the reverse order to replace
the battery and fuse compartment, and then screw it
in place.
The multimeter is now ready for use.
