c) Opening the battery/fuse compartment
The fuse/battery can only be replaced when all of the test leads are disconnected. The
battery/fuse compartment (O) cannot be opened when the leads are connected to the
terminals.
All terminals are automatically locked when the battery/fuse compartment is opened to
prevent leads from being inserted. The terminals are unlocked when the battery/fuse
compartment is closed.
The multimeter casing is designed so that you can only access the battery/fuse com-
partment. The casing does not need to be opened and disassembled.
This makes the multimeter safer and easier to use.
Follow the steps below to open the battery/fuse compartment:
- Disconnect all test leads from the multimeter and switch the multimeter off.
- Loosen and remove the battery compartment screw (L) on the back of the multimeter.
- Collapse the fold-out stand and slide the battery/fuse compartment (O) off the bottom
of the multimeter.

ment, and then screw it in place.
- The multimeter is now ready to use.
