Initial Start-Up
Battery operation

!
As a result of internal battery voltage monitoring, the
instrument may respond as follows if the battery
charge level is low:
– Cannot be switched on
– Shuts back down immediately
– Shuts back down in the event of loading at the
output.
If this is the case, replace the batteries in
accordance with chapter 12.1, or continue
work with the power pack if possible.

able batteries are used, they must be charched outside the
instrument.
