INSTALLING BATTERIES

Your meter requires two AA batteries for power.  We recommend that you use
alkaline batteries, such as Radio Shack's Cat. No. 23-552.

1.  Turn off the power by setting the power switch on the left side of your
    meter to OFF.  Then, disconnect the test leads.

2.  Push the battery/fuse compartment cover in the direction of the arrow
    and remove the cover.

3.  Snap the batteries in place, observing correct polarity (+ and -) as
    marked in the battery compartment.

4.  Press the cover into place.

When the batteries become weak, BATT appears on the left side of the
display.  Replace both batteries.  Never leave weak or dead batteries in
the meter.  Even leak-proof batteries can leak and damage the meter.

If you are not going to use the meter for a few weeks, remove the
batteries.

USING TEST LEADS

Use only the type of test leads supplied with the meter.  These test leads
are rated for 1200 volts.  You can purchase replacement leads (Cat. No.
278-704) from your local Radio Shack store.

CAUTION:  Although the supplied test leads are rated for 1200 volts, the
          meter's maximum rating is 1000 volts DC/750 volts AC.  Do not try
          to measure any voltage greater than 1000 volts DC/750 volts AC.
          Use extreme care when measuring these high-voltage ranges.
