suggest that in this case, the battery compartment should be sealed
(e.g. with an anti-tamper label), since attempting to recharge non-
rechargeable batteries may lead to acid leakage and instrument
damage.
Battery charge current is up to 0.2 A, giving a charge time of 6.5 hours
for a 1.3 A-hr battery with the instrument off. For optimum charge time
select a USB charging port with at least 0.2 Amp capability.
This modest charge current limits any adverse effect if non-
rechargeable batteries are accidentally charged. For example, the risk
of fire and explosion is avoided, however battery leakage could still
occur.

Figure 1B. To disable charging, programming jumper can be stored across two right
pins, or just removed to prevent anyone from enabling charging.
WARNING!
Do not short circuit batteries; there is a risk of fire or
explosion.
CAUTION!
Do not set up the instrument to charge non-rechargeable
batteries. Risk of noxious fumes, acid leakage or instrument damage.
CAUTION!
Remove batteries if they are exhausted, or if the unit is not
to be used for some extended period, to avoid battery leakage and
corrosion to instrument.
