Checking battery power
Typically, the life of the battery is approximately 40 hours nominal without LED activated (see
Appendix A
for specific specifications). It is recommended to perform a daily download of the measured data while
simultaneously charging the battery for maximum efficiency. A quick recharge with the EdgeDock ranges
from 2 to 4 hours when half of the battery power is expended.
Note
: refer to page iii to view battery care and best practices.
There are two battery identifiers on the dosimeter which are the battery indicator icon and the battery power
clock (see Figure 4-3).
Checking battery power
1.
The
battery indicator icon
(located at the top right of your screen) gives an approximation of
battery life and is always present.
If the battery indicator is half shaded, this illustrates you have approximately 17 hours of
battery life remaining.
If lobat appears, less than 8 hours of run time is available.
2.
Additionally, there is a
battery time remaining measurement
which identifies the number of hours
and minutes remaining on the dosimeter.
3.
To view, press the up/down arrows . This will navigate your through the views of the
dosimeter.
NOTE:
The battery time remaining measurement can be disabled from the view of the meter. See
Chapter 3 for explanation on changing the display

Battery indicator icon
When fully shaded, this
indicates full battery life.
