Removing the Battery Door
XWWarning
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 (l) 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 2.
When you 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.

With the battery door removed, the next step in disassembling the Meter is to
remove the bottom case. Use the following procedure to remove the bottom
case:
Note
When removing the back case, it is not necessary to remove the
fuse or the batteries.
1. Locate the four Phillips head screws on the bottom case, two next to the
batteries and two next to the fuse.
2. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the four screws.
3. Separate the front and bottom cases at the fuse-end of the Meter. Tilt the
freed end of the case up, and lift it away from the top case.
To install the bottom case, first, position and press together the display-end of
the top and bottom cases. Then, prior to installing all four screws, press the fuse-
end of the cases together.
Removing the PCA
With the bottom case removed, the next step in disassembling the Meter is to
remove the printed circuit assembly (PCA). Refer to Figure 4 and use the
following procedure to remove the PCA:
1. One Phillips screw attaches the PCA to the top case. Locate the screw near
the center of the PCA, and remove it.
2. Two chrome-plated springs on the PCA form an electrical connection (clip) to
the two recessed INSULATION (+) terminals on the top case. Break these
