13.1 Cleaning and Storage
Wipe the housing with a damp cloth as needed. Use a high-quality lens wipe to remove
dirt or smudges from the meter lenses and display window. Please do not use abrasives
or solvents to clean the meter housing, lenses, or display window.
If the meter is not to be used for an extended period, remove the batteries, and store
them separately.
13.2 Battery Replacement
The DM286 operates only on FLIR TA04 rechargeable battery packs. The Battery symbol
flashes, and a low battery warning appears when the batteries have reached a critical
level. The meter displays readings within specifications while the low battery indicator is
on. The meter powers off before it displays an out of tolerance reading.
WARNING: To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the meter from any connected circuits,
remove the test leads from the meter terminals, and set the function switch to the OFF
position before attempting to recharge the batteries.
1. Lift the tilt stand to access the battery compartment.
2. Unlock and remove the battery compartment cover.
3. Replace the TA04 battery pack with a fully charged pack.
