1.1 Supplying Power
The instrument operates on a Lithium battery pack located
in the rear of its housing, or by using the power adapter
(Figure 1-1).
To remove the battery compartment cover,
first remove the four thumb-screws. The standard Lithium
battery pack will provide maximum operating life between
charging.
NOTE:
Only the dedicated GE Lithium battery pack
should be used. Only this pack can be charged while
installed in the instrument.
The approximate level of remaining battery life is visually
displayed by the . The location of this icon is shown in
Figure 1-2.
When a fully charged battery pack is installed,
the icon will appear as “full.” As the battery life is con-
sumed, the icon will begin to “empty.”
NOTE:
To ensure that the battery pack is fully recharged,
the battery charger must be attached to the battery pack
before
it is plugged into an AC power source.
