Battery indicator
The battery symbol on the LCD display contains four pairs of
segments. The battery is monitored continuously when the
instrument is turned on. The charge remaining in the battery, is
indicated by segment pairs as follows:
Fully charged battery
50% charged battery
Empty battery
Tests cannot be started, and the battery
may fail at any time
Symbol flashes when there is not
enough charge for a test and the
instrument will turn itself off.
When mains power is present the
indicator shows the battery is being
charged by animating the segments of the bar graph.
A blinking full battery icon indicates that the battery is
prevented from charging due to the temperature being out of
the allowable charge temperature range, 0 ºC to 40 ºC, or that
the battery has failed.
