Changing Batteries
Battery-Powered Operation
The Clinitek Status+ analyzer is
designed to let you carry out the
maximum number of tests
(approximately 100) from a set of
batteries. To achieve this, the
Power Save feature is always
activated when the instrument is
powered by batteries.
If the instrument is not used in
5 minutes when battery-powered, it
will automatically power down.
A battery power icon will be shown
in the top right corner of the title bar
when the analyzer is being
powered by batteries. The number
of segments displayed represents
the amount of power remaining in
the batteries.
When power is reduced but testing
can continue, an advisory message
will be displayed on the main
Select screen.
NOTE: The printout may be lighter
if the analyzer is using battery
power.
If you do not change the batteries
and the level becomes too low to
power the analyzer, the error will
become critical and all selection
areas on the screen will be disabled
until the batteries are replaced.
