How do you change the batteries in a greenlee 1010 tester?
The black cap with pocket clip PULLS off. It does not screw on. May be tight. I used a knife to to pry between the yellow barrel an the cap, to get it started. Pull the cap off and dump the old batteries out. Dispose of the dead batteries appropriately, please. It takes 2 LR44 coin cells, or equivalent. The (+) side of the cells go into the barrel first - both with same orientation, with the (-) ends (the buttons) toward the opening. Then reinstall the cap - line it up so the clip will align with the window in the yellow barrel, then just press it all the way into the yellow barrel. Done.
How do I change batteries on the GT-11 Voltage Detector
Hold the tester in your hand and you will see the on/off switch at the
end of the tester. Make certain that the tester is turned to "off" and
just below the word "off" you will see a small white dot. You will need
to depress the white dot and while doing so turn the top part of the
on/off switch toward that white dot. At the same time you will also
need to pull that cap upward, like you would be pulling it off the
tester, and you will see that it slides up and off. That is where the
two AAA batteries are located!! Re-installing it is just the opposite
of removing it.
My Greenlee digital multimeter reads line voltage about twice what it is. What do I need to look for?
Is it possible you are seeing some variation on peak-to-peek voltage vs AC RMS which is more commonly used? Are you positive you were using the proper AC range rather than a DC range? Instead of double it should be more like 1.414 x the actual RMS voltage. If you were using the right range (AC) then your meter probably has an internal diode out. Because of isolation and other safety features in a VOM, factory repair may be preferable to possibly having a less safety aware tech repairing it.
Do you know what kind of meter abuse caused this damage?
Instrument repair has always been a more specialized and demanding arena of electronic repair.
If it's a $25 meter it could easily be more expensive to repair
than to replace with a new one.
This is all general information because you did not specify
which model of Greenlee multimeter you have.
It's easy to blow a VOM by putting it across a circuit when it's
set to the wrong range.

Battery replacement
simply turn the on/off switch cap to the "." dot position (counter clockwise) and the cap will come off..salim Merchant
Need calibration coil
Where can I find a calibration coil for a Greenlee model 2003?
Or what size wire is it composed of and how long is it?
How to test aa battery with greenlee dm-20
se the meter to dc volts. if is not automatic, it should be set at the 3 volt scale. Take the red lead of the meter and touch it to the positive side. The black goes on the negative side or the 'bottom, of the battery. Brand new it ill be about1.6volts+-5%. its usefullness is comprimised at 1.4 or 1.3, depending the appplication. Be sure the leads to the meter are in the correct sockets,

you may have to switch the leads on the meter or replace its batteries. Check the internal fuses on the meter first.
