NOTE: If replacement of the 2A high current interrupting fuse is necessary, the
Instrument case must be removed (see paragraph 5.3).
Battery replacement is necessary whenever the Instrument cannot be adjusted to
infinity ( ) with open test leads on the low power ohm ranges, or with shorted test
leads on the conventional ohm ranges. If these adjustments cannot be made,
replace the 1.5V D size cell. If the ohms adjustment cannot be made on the R X
10k range or the reset button does not trip on overload circuit and battery test,
