Figure 35: Clearing Charger Register
Battery Charge:
1. Connect the charger to a working outlet, and then to the charger
input on the unit’s front panel. Although, it is recommended for the
unit to be OFF during a charge, the user can monitor the charging
process in the screen above.
2. If the Charge counter slows to a stop (and does not increase),
this is an indication the charge is complete. The battery now has a
full charge, and needs to be reset. To do this, go to:
Main Menu /
System Menu / Battery Operation
- press “
Enter”
to zero the
counters. This action also resets the battery circuit mentioned
above, and will correct any miscounts. (If charging is still an issue,
review the Troubleshooting section on p.57.)
Resetting the battery counters should be done both before and
after (at least) a 4hr charge.
When done so,
the battery status % on the display will be accurate
.
3. When the Battery percentage reaches ~ 40-50%, be sure to
charge the unit again. (Go to step 1)
4. A charged battery allows for 4-6 hours of continuous field testing.
5. To extend the battery’s run time in the field, to turn “OFF” the
background light.
