When fully discharged, the battery takes approximately 4
1/2 hours to reach a full charge if the instrument is
powered off. It takes approximately 7 hours to fully
charge the battery if the instrument is powered on.
Checking the Status of the Battery Charge
To find out how much battery power remains, tap the
battery icon , which is located in the lower-right corner
of every screen.
Conserving Battery Power
One way to conserve battery power is to put the
instrument in Suspend mode. This is a low-power usage
mode, in which the instrument is not completely turned
on or off. While in Suspend mode, the instrument cannot
collect data.
•
To put the instrument in Suspend mode, tap
then
select
Suspend. Alternatively, press the green
On/Off button for less than one second.
The green LED turns amber and the screen changes
to blank.
•
To take the instrument out of Suspend mode, press
the On/Off button. Release this button as soon as the
LED turns green.
The screen that was displayed prior to your putting
the instrument in Suspend mode is redisplayed.
Note
Another way to save battery power is to use a
lower backlight setting. See “Adjusting the
Brightness of the Screen” on page 16 for details.
