Charge the battery
The battery will need to be charged for about 12 hours before its first use and whenever it fails to last enough time to
perform installations.
Plug the charger into the Satmeter and electrical outlet. Then turn the meter on. The meter will analyze the state of the
battery and BOOST or TRICKLE charge until the battery is ready for use. During normal charging, the charger and meter
may become warm. After several charge and discharge cycles, the battery will reach full capacity.
Analyzing charge..
Use only the charger supplied with the Satmeter. The warranty will be invalidated if the meter is damaged through the
use of a different charger.
The meter protects the battery from over charging. Spare batteries for extended use in the field can be supplied by your
distributor.
