rechargeable. To install or replace the cells,
disconnect the test leads, switch the instrument
to OFF and loosen the captive screws on the
rear of the battery compartment. Remove the
cover and disconnect the battery holder from
the battery leads. Ensure that the replacement
cells are fitted with the correct polarity in
accordance with the label in the battery holder.
Reconnect the battery holder to the battery
leads. Replace and re-secure the battery
compartment cover. Remove the cells if the

(AA)
or
NiCd/NiMH
instrument is not going to be used for an
extended period of time.
The BMM500 Series incorporates an electronic
contact detector to minimise the chance of
blowing the fuse even if accidentally applied to
a live circuit whilst switched to the continuity
range. In the unlikely event of the fuse needing
replacement, a spare is located under the
battery cover.

loosen the captive screws holding the battery
compartment cover in place. Remove the cover
and replace the fuse. Replace and re-secure
the battery compartment cover.
