6.1 battery

Your instrument is equipped with a NiMH battery. This technology offers several advantages:
■
Long battery charge life for a limited volume and weight.
■
Possibility of quickly recharging your battery.
■
Significantly reduced memory effect: you can recharge your battery even if it is not fully discharged.
■
Respect for the environment: no pollutant materials such as lead or cadmium, in compliance with the applicable
regulations.
After prolonged storage, the battery may be completely discharged. If so, it must be completely recharged.
Your instrument may not function during part of this recharging operation.
Full recharging of a completely discharged battery may take several hours.
In this case, at least 5 charge/discharge cycles will be necessary for your battery to recover 95% of its capacity.
To make the best possible use of your battery and extend its effective service life:
■
Only charge your instrument at temperatures between 32°F and 104°F (0°C and 40°C).
■
Comply with the conditions of use defined in the operating manual.
■
Comply with the storage conditions specified in the operating manual.
Before first use, charge and discharge the instrument one or two cycles to ensure the proper level display of the

battery indicator.

6.2 battery indicator
The Yellow/Red LED (see #6 Figure 8) is used to indicate the status of the battery.
When the power is on, the battery is charging until it is full.
■
LED OFF: Battery full (with or without power supply).
■
Yellow LED ON/No blinks: Battery is charging.
■
Yellow LED blinks twice per second: Battery is recovering after a full discharge.
■
Red LED blinks twice per second: Low battery (and no power supply).

6.3 changing the battery

WARNING:
■
When changing the battery, disconnect all instrument inputs and turn the equipment off. There must be a delay
of at least one minute without the battery being connected.
■
Do not expose the battery to heat exceeding 212°F (100°C).
■
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals.
To change the battery, disconnect from any input and make sure the instrument is turned off, remove the back panel and
replace with a NiMH factory supplied battery pack.
Used batteries must not be treated as ordinary household waste. Recycle them appropriately.
