Never attempt to 
recharge a non-
rechargeable battery.

•  Set the power switch on the probe to the 

OFF

 position when the probe 

is not in use. Leaving the power switch in the 

ON

 position for extended 

periods of time will damage the battery. When the battery is discharged, 
the flashing power 

ON

 indicator will not function.

•  When possible, leave the probe connected to the battery charger, and 

the battery charger connected to the mains electrical supply (charger 
operating). The battery charger status indicators will show 

CHARGER

 

ON

 

and 

COMPLETE

 when the battery is on a maintenance charge.

•  Operate the probe only within the optimum operating temperature 

range of +20ºC to +30ºC (+68ºF to +86ºF). Although NiMH batteries are 
rated for operation in temperatures from -20ºC to +65ºC ( -4ºF to +140ºF), 
operating the probe at temperature extremes reduces the operating 
time of the batteries.

•  Make sure the battery is fully charged before resuming operation. The 

battery does not require periodic deep discharges to reverse the effect 
caused by repeated shallow discharges, but undercharging can reduce 
battery capacity.

A fully charged battery (nominal output voltage of 4.8 VDC) provides up to 10 
hours of operation. When the battery has discharged to 4.4 VDC, the probe 
will operate, but the battery will need to be charged. When the voltage drops 
below 4.0 VDC, measurement accuracy may be compromised by continued 
operation. When the battery voltage indication is less than four volts, a 
low battery indication is attached to the output data string warning of the 
problem. ETS-Lindgren software applications provide a warning indication 
on the display screen of the readout device. It is recommended that custom 
software packages using data from the probe monitor the data output for 
this condition.
If the battery exhibits low terminal voltages during charging, or if it appears 
unable to acquire or maintain a charge, individual cells in the battery may 
be shorted or damaged. If your battery needs replacement for any reason, 
contact ETS-Lindgren Customer Service.

Charging the Batteries

For maximum battery life, fully charge the batteries before placing the 
probe into service. Failing to fully charge the batteries may result in reduced 
battery life and cause premature battery failure.
To charge a battery:
1.  Make sure the power switch on the probe is set to the 

OFF

 position or the 

battery will not charge.

2.  Connect the battery charger to the electrical mains, and then connect 

the charger output to the charger jack on the probe.
