Page 8: Preparation
ˆ Preparation INSTALLING A Top Cover 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. -
