Battery Management
The instrument comes with a rechargeable, high quality internal
NiMH-Battery. The quality of these high-capacity NiMH batteries
(far better than NiCd batteries, for instance) can be best maintained
if they are almost totally discharged (i.e. used) before being fully
recharged (for > 13 hours or until the green charging LED turns off).
The loading procedure is started by switching the meter on and off
once only after connecting it to the power supply unit.
Hint: Always carry a 9V primary battery with you in case of emer-
gencies!
Changing the rechargeable Battery
The battery compartment is at the back of the analyser. To remove
the lid, press on the grooved arrow and pull the cap off.
Insert only
rechargeable batteries. If you use regular alkaline (non – re-
chargeable) batteries do not use a charger or AC-adapter!
Auto-Power-Off
This function conserves energy and extends the total operating
time
.
1.
In case you have forgotten to turn OFF the HF analyser or it
has been turned ON accidentally during transport, it will shut
off automatically after 40 minutes.
2.
If “LOW BATT” appears vertically between the digits in the cen-
ter of the display, the HF analyser will turn OFF after 3 min al-
ready in order to avoid unreliable measurements. In that case
charge the rechargeable battery as soon as possible.
3.
The built-in function Auto-Power-Off is automatically de-acti-
vated when plugging in a 2.5 mm DC. The function will only be
(also automatically) re-activated if a further operation of the
meter would cause a total discharge of the battery.
