C) Opening The Battery/Fuse Compartment - VOLTCRAFT VC276 SE Bedienungsanleitung

c) Opening the battery/fuse compartment

For safety reasons, a battery can only be replaced when all test leads have been removed from the multimeter. The
battery and fuse compartment (Q) cannot be opened while test leads are inserted.
In addition, the measurement sockets are mechanically locked on opening to prevent subsequent insertion of test
leads when the casing is open. The lock is automatically removed when the battery and fuse compartment is closed
again.
The casing is designed in such a way that when the battery and fuse compartment is open, there is only access to the
battery and fuses. The casing no longer needs to be fully opened and disassembled.
This makes the multimeter safer and easier to use.
Proceed as follows 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 (N) on the back of the multimeter.
- Collapse the fold-out stand and slide the battery/fuse compartment (Q) off the bottom of the multimeter.
- You should now be able to access the fuses and the battery.
- Repeat the steps above in reverse order to close the casing and replace the battery/fuse compartment, and then
screw it in place.
- The multimeter is now ready to use.
