General maintenance:
Clean the exterior of the housing with a clean dry

cloth (exception: special cleansing cloths). Do not use
solvents and/ or abrasives to clean the voltage tester.
Make sure not to contaminate the battery compartment
and the battery contacts with leaking battery
electrolyte. Should such electrolyte contamination or
white deposits occur near the battery or the battery
housing, these must also be removed with a dry cloth.
In case of wear or damaging of the O ring of the
battery compartment, the voltage tester does not
comply with the indicated protection class anymore
(protection against dust and water). In this case, the O
ring must be replaced.
The O ring can be ordered under the BENNING piece
number 772894. Moisten a new O ring with glycerine
or talcum so that the battery compartment can be
locked and unlocked easily.
