Dirt or moisture in the terminals can affect readings.
To clean the terminals:
- Turn the meter off and remove all test leads.
- Shake out any dirt that may be in the terminals.
- Soak a new swab with a cleaning and oiling agent.
- Work the swab around in each terminal. The oiling agent insulates the terminals from
moisture-related contamination.
5.2 Battery replacement

injury, replace the battery as soon as the battery indicator (

terminals.
To replace the battery (see Figure 1.):
- Set rotary switch to the OFF position.
- Disconnect test leads and/or any connectors from the terminals.
- Use a screwdriver to unscrew the screw secured on battery cover. Take out the used
batteries and replace with a new 9V battery.
