Replacing the Battery

Replace the battery with a 9-V battery (NEDA A1604, 6F22, or 006P).
To avoid false readings, which could lead to possible electric
shock or personal injury, replace the battery as soon as the
battery indicator (b) appears. If the display shows "bAtt" the
Meter will not function until the battery is replaced.
Replace the battery as follows, refer to Figure 2:
1. Turn the rotary knob to OFF and remove the test leads from the terminals.
2. Remove the battery door by using a standard-blade screwdriver to turn the battery
3. Remove the old battery and replace it with a new one.
4. Align the battery leads so that they not pinched between the battery door and the
5. Secure the door by turning the screws one-quarter turn clockwise.

Testing Fuses and Current Circuitry

If a test lead is plugged into the mA/µA or A terminal and the rotary knob is turned to a
non-current function, the Meter chirps and flashes "LEAd" if the fuse associated with
that current terminal is good. If the Meter does not chirp or flash "LEAd", the fuse is bad
and must be replaced. Refer to Table 17 for the appropriate replacement fuse.
Before measuring current, test the quality of the appropriate fuse and the current shunt
using the following procedure. See Figure 4.
1. Turn the rotary knob to N.
