The AFG is supplied with a set of 5 Nickel Metal
Hydride AAA rechargeable batteries, which are supplied
fully charged to allow use straight from the box. Do not
use any other battery charger other than that supplied
with the force gauge.
To replace the batteries you must first remove the
battery cover on the upper part of the rear of the gauge
by removing the 2 retaining screws. Remove the fitted
batteries and fit the 5 new batteries in the battery
holder ensuring that you observe polarity and the
batteries are placed on top of the ‘release tag’ and they
will be freed from the spring-loaded contacts.
Refit the battery cover and tighten the 2 retaining
screws.
Connect the mains adaptor/charger to the AFG charger
socket located at the right hand side of the gauge next
to the display and charge the batteries for 14 - 16 hours.
Only use the adaptor/charger supplied. A fully charged
battery pack will provide approximately 20 hours
constant use between charges.
A low battery symbol will appear in the display
approximately 2 minutes before the gauge powers
down automatically. See Fig 1.
