Charging / changing storage batteries
The lower the number of bars, the lower the battery
charge. If batteries run down, the high voltage generator
fails to build up test voltage. PoroTest® 7 is not
serviceable until the batteries are recharged.
Important Note:
•
Deep discharge of batteries must be avoided
otherwise they might be destroyed.
•
If not in use for a longer period of time, batteries
must be fully recharged before storing them.
•
It is recommended to recharge the batteries every
two months.
•
It is highly recommended to use solely batteries
that have been tested and supplied by
ElektroPhysik.
Caution - Explosion hazard!
Only use rechargeable NiMH C-cells. Non rechargeable
batteries pose an explosion hazard if on charge!
