CHAPTER 5 MAINTENANCE Use only factory specified replacement parts. AEMC will not be held ® responsible for any accident, incident, or malfunction following a repair done other than by its service center or by an approved repair center. Changing the Battery Disconnect the instrument from any source of electricity. 1. Set the switch to OFF. 2. Slide a screwdriver into the slot at the top of the battery cover (rear of the clamp) and push the battery cover upwards. 3. Replace the used battery with a 9V battery (type LF22), observing the polarities. 4. Install the battery in its housing, then reattach the battery cover.
