3 Specifications Battery life The programming windows of the software provide you with typical guide values for the expected lifetime of the battery. This lifetime is calculated on the basis of the following factors: • Measuring cycle • Number of connected sensors Since the battery life depends on quite a few other factors, the calculated data can only serve as guide values.
The software is available in the Internet as a free download requiring registration: The instructions for the installation and operation of the software can be found in the testo Comfort Software Basic 5 instruction manual, which can be downloaded together with the software.
