7.1 CLEANING

Disconnect the instrument from any source of electricity.
● Use a soft cloth, lightly dampened with soapy water
● Wipe with a damp cloth and then dry with a dry cloth
● Do not splash water directly on the instrument
● Do not use alcohol, solvents or hydrocarbons
For the current probes and sensors: Keep the air gaps of the clamps perfectly clean using a cloth. Lightly oil visible metal
parts to avoid rust.

7.2 REPLACING THE BATTERY

WARNING:
● For safety reasons, replace the battery only with the original replacement model (see § 1.2.2).
● Do not expose the battery to heat exceeding 212°F (100°C).
● Do not short-circuit the battery terminals.
● To eliminate all risk of electric shock, disconnect the power supply cord and measurement leads of the
instrument.
1. Turn the instrument over, raise the stand, and prop it up.
2. Use a coin to unscrew the two quarter-turn screws on the back of the
housing.
3. Using a flat screwdriver, remove the cover from the compartment.
4. Turn the instrument over and hold the battery as it slides out of its
compartment.
5. Disconnect the battery connector without pulling on the wires.
6. Connect the new battery. The connector is error-proofed to prevent
reversals of polarity.
7. Place the battery in its compartment and arrange the wires so that
they do not protrude.
8. Put the battery compartment cover back in place and screw the two
screws back in.
NOTE: If the battery is disconnected, it must then be fully recharged, even if it is not replaced, so that the instrument
will know the battery charge condition (this information is lost when the battery is disconnected).
