Battery  

The force gauge has a built-in 3.7 V rechargeable battery. If the meter is stored for a longer period 
of time,  it should  be  recharged  because  the  battery  discharges  itself.  The  battery  is  recharged 
after approx. 6 hours.  

 

When the battery is charging, the following icon is displayed: 

 

When the battery is fully charged, the icon 

 appears on the display. 

When switched on, the battery indicator shows the current battery capacity when no charger is 
connected.
