USING THE OTOWAVE
4.1.
BATTERY-PACK
The Otowave 102-C is powered by a rechargeable, built-in Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery-pack. The
battery is not intended to be changed by the user. The battery pack may explode or cause burns, if
disassembled, crushed or exposed to fire or high temperatures. Do not short-circuit.
A battery state indicator is shown in the top right corner of the display (except when showing test results).
This shows
the battery state as a progressively emptying battery. The 102-C should always be placed on its
cradle when not in use to allow the battery to trickle charge. When
the symbol “

appears next to the battery
state indicator, or when advised at switch-on the handset must be placed on its cradle to charge before further
use.
Depleated batteries do not affect the instrument configuration, the contents of the database, the calibration
settings or the results of the last test.
