Low Battery Indicator
The low battery
icon indicates the state of the batteries:
Icon Battery State
Not visible Good
Visible Low – replace batteries soon
Flashing Flat – replace batteries now!
When the batteries are completely low, the luminometer will flash
the
icon, beep three times, and automatically turn off.
CAUTION
: Never leave low batteries in the luminometer, as
they are prone to leaking/corrosion, which will damage the
luminometer.
TIP
: Always store the luminometer in a cool dry place when not in
use because elevated temperatures will shorten the battery life.
