Maintenance of Ron 2000 batteries for top performance
T
he standard system is powered by three AA 1.5V disposable alkaline
batteries. They are housed in a battery holder located inside the lower part of
the indicator.
Batteries rated 3AH will result in at least 2000 hours of battery life (more
than two months of continuous use). Occasional use will extend the battery
life up to several years.
The display will show
LO:BAT
when the batteries need to be replaced.
Once
LO:BAT
is displayed, you still have several hours of operation left. If
the battery level gets too low, the system will automatically power down in
order to avoid damage from low voltage.
When the system is turn on, the batteries' energy level is displayed as a
percentage e.g
100 %
. During use, press the
ENTER
key to check the current
battery level.
Optional Rechargeable Batteries
Though we recommend standard alkaline AA batteries, rechargeable
batteries are offered. This option includes 3 AA NiMH 2700 mA
rechargeable batteries, in a battery holder, the same as the standard
disposable alkaline batteries (see details above). The system is supplied with a
mating charger.
The batteries should be charged:
1. Prior to using the unit for the first time.
2. Before use, if more than two months have passed since the last
charge.
3. When
LO:BAT
(low battery) is displayed on the screen.
A full charge will take 10-14 hours.
Store bought rechargeable batteries may be used. Choose NiMH AA size 1.2V
rechargeable batteries (minimum 1800mAH or higher) and a standard charger.
