Baseline® Push / Pull Dynamometers

2 POWER

Caution!
Do not use AC adapters other than supplied or instrument damage may occur.
The dynamometer is powered either by an 8.4V rechargeable battery or by an AC adapter (input jack is
located in the left side of the housing).
If the AC adapter is plugged in, an icon appears in the lower left corner of the display, as follows:
If the AC adapter is not plugged in, battery power drainage is denoted in a five-step process:
1. When battery life is greater than 75%, the following indicator is present:
2. When battery life is between 50% and 75%, the following indicator is present:
3. When battery life is between 25% and 50%, the following indicator is present:
4. When battery life is less than 25%, the following indicator is present:
5. When battery life drops to approximately 2%, the indicator from step 4 will be flashing.
Several minutes after (timing depends on usage and whether the backlight is turned on or
off), a message appears, "BATTERY VOLTAGE TOO LOW. POWERING OFF". An audio
tone will sound and the dynamometer will power off.
The dynamometer can be configured to automatically power off following a period of inactivity. Refer to
the Other Settings section for details.
Battery life is approximately 24 hours with the backlight off, or 7 hours with the backlight on. To change
the battery, loosen the two captive screws on the back side of the housing and separate the two housing
halves. A foam strip separates the battery from the PCB, as shown in the illustration below:
Ensure that the foam is positioned above the battery when reassembling the housing. Exercise care when
reassembling the two halves of the housing, ensuring that internal wires do not interfere.
