3. Getting started

Note: When shipped, battery packs are not fully charged. Prior to use, please charge
the battery completely. To prevent the battery from damage, avoid deep-discharging or
storing it long-term when empty. Store the instrument at room temperature and charge
the battery fully at least once a year.

3.1 Charging the Proceq DY-2

A fully charged battery is sufficient for approximately 80 complete load cycles.
The battery status symbol will be displayed when the accumulator is at 10% of its capacity. In this
case it is still possible to make measurements, but it is advisable to recharge the battery by con-
necting the unit to a wall adaptor or a PC via the mini-USB port on the rear of the instrument. A
complete charging cycle will take approximately 3 hours (longer in the case of a deep-discharge).
Note: When charging the battery or when operating on mains supply, the charging circuit
will be disconnected after 5 hours of continuous charging. This is a safety precaution.
The instrument will then turn off after a further 5 minutes.
A reserve battery pack (Part No. 346 10 220) may be purchased and held in reserve.
