Important: make sure that the IQ-BASIC-GPS is not switched-on when the connection cable to the
PC is plugged to the instrument.
Caution: never leave the PC cable hooked to the instrument for a longer period when it is turned off.
Indeed this is energy consuming and the battery could be discharged unnoticed.
Tip: in Windows the characteristic noise for USB devices should be audible when the unit is plugged.

Batteries

2x Type AA, 1.5V Alkaline or 2x Type AA 1.2V NiMh Accum.
Operating time with 2 Alkaline batteries is more than 40 hours.
8.1

Batterie charge state

Upon switch-on of the instrument, the actual charge state of the batteries is displayed
on the start-up display screen.
As long as the instrument is operative, the charge state is continuously monitored and is
indicated with the corresponding symbol on the display screen.
8.2

Battery replacement

Replace batteries only, when the instrument is switched-off!
The correct battery type needs to be set under Main Setup Menu
A wrongly entered setting may lead to the result of the instrument's premature switch-off
and thus provides incorrect status information!
We recommend not to use NiCd Accumulators. These batteries have significantly reduced capacity
and they are less environment-friendly. Also the switching threshold is not laid-out for NiCd Accum.
Remark: the estimated operation time as mentioned before is based on normal temperatures
of approx. 20 – 25 °C.
At low temperatures the batteries and accumulators have a markedly shorter service life.
In case of prolonged non-use, the batteries should always be removed!
Defective batteries may damage the instrument by leaking acid!
Corrosion damage caused by defective batteries is not covered by the warranty!
