BATTERY CHARGING
The batteries in the DTT Opta unit are shipped fully charged.
In normal use with a transducer connected the batteries
have a life of at least 8 hours.
Connect the lead from the Mains adaptor/Charger to the
mains connector at the back of the DTT Opta (see below),
and connect the mains adaptor to an AC mains supply. The
adaptor can be used for direct power from the mains or to
charge the internal battery. It has an automatic cut-off to
prevent overcharging.
With the unit switched off from a 10% charge state, the
batteries will fully discharge in 25-50 days. To prevent the
loss of all setup data, the unit has additional battery backup
for the internal memory.
