BAR GRAPH ON BATTERY TEST DOES NOT
INDICATE 100% AFTER FITTING NEW
BATTERIES
ARE 4 NEW ALKALINE BATTERIES FITTED?
The bar graph indicates the battery condition at the last
switch off to give a representative indication of potential
battery life
It can only be reset by replacing all four batteries with four
new good alkaline cells at the same time. The use of mixed
or partially used batteries may not reset the battery indicator
The use of other types of battery, whether good or not,
may also not reset the indicator, may cause the instrument
to malfunction and may in themselves be dangerous in
gaseous atmospheres.
ACTION:
REPLACE ALL CELLS WITH FOUR NEW
LR20 ALKALINE BATTERIES
HAVE BATTERIES BEEN KEPT AT LOW TEMPERATURE
FOR A PERIOD OF TIME?
Battery capacity is a function of temperature and batteries
stored at low temperature are not able to release their total
power potential.
If the batteries have been stored in a vehicle overnight at
below zero they may appear to have less capacity Where
possible, batteries should be at ambient temperature before
use, even if instrument is being used in low temperature
conditions Store replacement batteries in vehicle cab rather
than in unheated compartment.
ACTION:
KEEP REPLACEMENT BATTERIES AT
AMBIENT TEMPERATURE 1-2 HOURS
BEFORE USE
