6.2.1.2 Charging display for unintention-
ally inserted alkaline batteries
– If alkaline batteries are identified, all
battery status segments flash continually
to indicate missing rechargeable
batteries. Additionally, they sign “
“ shows in the display.
The range meter cannot be switched on.
– If defective or non re-chargeable alkaline
batteries are inserted, the battery display
will flash and, at the same time,
“
“ (defective battery) will
appear in the display.
- NOTE -
– At any time while the batteries are being
charged, the range meter can be
switched on and used. The battery charg-
ing process stops when the range meter
is switched on and the laser activated.
– Rechargeable batteries discharge if they
are stored for a long time. The battery
charging process terminates after 1
minute when charging very empty
rechargeable batteries and the display
switches off in this case, the charging
process can be re-started only by
disconnecting the range meter from the
mains adaptor or by removing / replace
the rechargeable batteries.
– Keep the range meter in a safe place.
6.2.2 Fast battery charging
The charging process ensures that within
15 minutes of charging with the PDAW
80/81-2 car battery plug the battery
receives enough power for a further
150 to 200 measurements.
This process in combination with car
battery plug is a particular advantage if
the user needs the range meter ready for
use quickly.
