a) Inserting batteries

Usually the product is not delivered with batteries pre-inserted. Follow the next steps to
commission the product.
Due to their lower voltage, the use of rechargeable batteries is not recommended.
1. Turn the rotary switch (3) to OFF. Disconnect the digital clamp multimeter from any test
objects.
2. Turn the product over and place it on a soft surface to protect the display from scratching.
3. Remove the locking screw from the battery compartment cover (6) by loosening it with a
Phillips screwdriver only so far until the cover can be removed. The screw remains in the
cover.

Please read chapter "12. Disposal".

over-tighten the screw.
