6.2.3 Self discharge
Self-discharging is a typical property of batteries. Even when you
are not using the instrument, the battery slowly discharges and
later reaches the deeply discharged phase, which can damage
the battery.
IMPORTANT! Fully charge the battery at least once a month.
6.3 Repairs
Care! Danger of fatal electric shock!
It is essential to follow the instructions in Section 1.3 “Safety
notes”.
If your instrument does not function as expected, i.e. if the
measured results are not credible, or you are getting incorrect
reports from the instrument, try to solve the problem initially with
the aid of Section 7 “Troubleshooting”.
If you require assistance, contact EKF Diagnostics’ technical
service department (see Section 10.2 “Further information”).

individual components.
