Power
supply
/
charger
Only
the
unit
supplied
with
your
kit
should
be
used
to
charge
the
battery
pack,
or
power
the
meter.
This
is
connected
to
the
7
‐
way
outlet
on
the
meter.
The
charger
supply
unit
simply
plugs
into
the
mains
socket,
accepting
input
mains
voltage
from
110v–
240v
AC,
50–60
Hz.
The
charger
unit
comes
complete
with
various
plug
configurations
for
use
around
the
world.
A
red
LED
will
illuminate
when
charger
/
power
supply
is
switched
on.
The
battery
pack
should
be
fully
charged
after
a
period
of
12
hours.
When
charging
is
complete,
first
disconnect
the
charger
from
the
mains
and
then
from
the
meter.
The
power
supply
/
charger
can
also
be
used
to
power
the
meter
during
use
while
also
charging
the
internal
batteries
at
a
reduced
rate.
Check
pad
All
scientific
instruments
need
regular
calibration.
In
the
case
of
the
Fatmeter
an
annual
calibration
is
recommended.
Where
the
meter
is
subject
to
intensive
use,
a
twice
yearly
calibration
check
is
recommended.
So
that
you
can
be
sure
that
the
meter
is
operating
to
specifications,
it
is
always
best
to
take
measurements
on
the
check
pad
prior
to
commencing
work.
The
check
pad
provides
the
user
with
a
quick
daily
check
that
the
calibration
has
not
changed
significantly
since
last
calibration.
It
should
be
noted,
however,
that
the
results
obtained
do
not
verify
your
meter’s
precise
calibration,
but
they
do
give
an
assurance
that
there
has
been
no
significant
change.
The
pad
has
two
rectangular
slots
which
provide
a
representative
reading
of
the
high
and
low
range
of
a
stated
species
selection.
A
series
of
eight
readings
should
be
taken
in
each
of
these
slots
(firm
pressure
should
be
applied).
The
average
readings
obtained
should
fall
within
±
2%
of
the
values
stated
on
the
pad.
Because
of
the
compressible
nature
of
the
pad,
different
operators
may
obtain
slightly
different
results
on
the
check
pad,
using
the
same
instrument.
It
is
therefore
recommended
that
one
person
be
made
responsible
for
this
daily
check,
so
that
consistent
daily
checks
are
carried
out.
