• The complete charging process takes about 30 hours.
Notes: • As the charging process is performed at low current, the instru-
ment can be left on the recharger more than 30 hours, without
damaging the rechargeable batteries.
• It is recommended to turn off the instrument while recharging the
batteries. The measurements can be affected by the recharging
process. The capacity of the battery displayed after power on is
also affected.
• Batteries recharging must only take place in a non hazardous area,
using the
HI 710041
inductive recharger.
The instrument is provided with the BEPS (Battery Error Prevention System)
feature, which automatically turns the instrument off when the batteries level
is too low to ensure reliable readings. At start up the display will show “0 bAtt”
message for a few seconds, then the instrument automatically turns off.
This instrument can also be powered on with 4 x 1.5V AA alkaline batteries.
To replace rundown batteries, remove the rear cover of the instrument and
substitute all four 1.5V AA alkaline batteries with new ones, while paying
attention to the correct polarity. Make sure that the switch on the back of the
instrument is in the “Alkaline” position (see below).
Reattach the cover and tighten the two screws.
Note:
Don’t forget to change the switch position if you are using 1.5V AA
alkaline batteries. This will avoid the damages which can be produced
if trying to recharge the alkaline batteries.
