B) Cleaning; C) Inserting And Changing The Batteries - VOLTCRAFT VC-125 Operating Instructions Manual

b) Cleaning

Always observe the following safety information before cleaning the device:
Live components may be exposed if covers are opened or parts are removed (unless this can be
done without tools).
The connected lines must be disconnected from the meter and all measuring objects before the
device is cleaned or repaired. Switch off the DMM.
Do not use any abrasive cleaning agents or petrol, alcohol or the like to clean the product. They will damage the
surface of the meter. Furthermore, the fumes are hazardous to your health and explosive. Also do not use any
sharp-edged tools, screwdrivers, metal brushes, etc. for cleaning.
Use a clean, lint-free, antistatic, slightly damp cloth for cleaning the device or the display and the measuring lines.
Allow the product to dry completely before you use it again to conduct measurements.

c) Inserting and changing the batteries

Operation of the meter requires a 9 V block battery (e.g. 6F22 or same build). You need to insert a new, charged
battery before initial operation or when the battery change symbol appears on the display.
Proceed as follows to insert or change the batteries:
- Disconnect the connected measuring lines from the measuring
circuit and the meter. Switch off the DMM.
- Fold up the rear setup bracket and loosen the two rear screws at
the battery compartment lid (8) with a suitable Phillips screwdriver.
Remove the battery compartment lid from the device.
- Replace the flat battery with a new one of the same type. Connect
the new battery with the battery clip in the correct polarity and insert
the battery into the compartment. Observe the polarity as indicated
in the battery compartment.
- Close the casing carefully again.
Never operate the meter when it is open. !DANGER TO LIFE!
Do not leave flat batteries in the meter. Even batteries protected against leaking can corrode and
thus release chemicals which may be detrimental to your health or destroy the device.
Do not leave batteries lying around carelessly. They could be swallowed by children or pets. If
swallowed, consult a doctor immediately.
Remove the battery if the device is not used for extended periods of time to prevent leaking.
Leaking or damaged batteries may cause alkali burns if they come in contact with the skin. There-
fore, use suitable protective gloves.
Make sure that the batteries are not short-circuited. Do not throw batteries into the fire.
Batteries must not be recharged or dismantled. There is a risk of fire and explosion.
