or listed here in this manual for approved use.
6.4 Transmit Rate vs. Battery Life
Many factors such as ambient temperature conditions and transmitting rate can
have a big effect on the life of the battery used in your meter. Transmitting data
places a big demand of the battery in your unit. The transmit rate is the single
most contributing factor in the life of the battery. The slower the transmit rate you
set, the longer the battery in your device will last. The tables and graphs below
give some estimates on how long the battery should last vs. the transmit rate you
selected when you setup your meter under normal operating conditions.
