The standard Meter comes equipped with a snug-fitting yellow rubber boot. The boot
helps protect the Meter from rough handling and is normally left on the Meter. The first
step in disassembling the Meter is to remove the boot.
Use the following procedure to remove the boot:
1. Looking at the Meter, place your thumbs on the top corners of the boot and firmly
grasp the Meter.
2. Using both thumbs, push the boot up and over both corners of the Meter.
3. Continue pushing on the boot until both of its inside corners are resting on top of the
Meter.
4. Now, rest the heel of one hand behind the display, and place all four fingers of the
same hand along the upper front edge of the boot.
5. Firmly grasp the Meter with the other hand, and using your fingers, peel the boot
over the top of the Meter.
6. Slide the Meter up and out of the boot.
To install the boot, position the bottom of the Meter in the bottom of the
boot, and press the top of the instrument firmly into of the boot.
To avoid the risk of electrical shock, turn the rotary switch to
OFF, and remove the test leads from the front-panel terminals
before removing the battery cover.
With the boot removed, the next step in disassembling the Meter is to remove the battery
door. Use the following procedure to remove the door:
1. Locate the black slotted lock on the lower rear of the Meter.
2. Using a standard screwdriver, turn the battery-door lock until the unlock symbol
aligns with the arrow. The door is now unlocked.
3. Lift the bottom of the battery door away from the Meter. Removing the battery door
provides access to the fuse and battery compartment.
4. If necessary, remove and replace the batteries and/or fuse as shown in Figure 1.
To install the battery door, first, slide the top of the door into position, and
then, secure it by turning the battery door lock until the lock symbol (L)
aligns with the arrow.
