MET Power Supply
The NiMh battery compartment is located on the back side of the electronic module. When installing, be
sure to pay attention to the polarity of the battery. Be sure to dispose of the battery according to local
regulations.
The battery capacity indicator is shown on the right side of the display. Three dark squares inside the
battery symbol show the battery condition. As the battery discharges, the squares disappear one by one
from top to bottom.
Battery charging can be done with the supplied a/c adapter or via USB connection to your PC.
The MET is capable of all functions while being charged.
Be sure that the battery is installed prior to connecting the charger. Failure to follow this
may result in possible damage to the charging and/or electronics system and void any
stated warranty.
Please note that that the 4-pin female port on the left side of the hardness tester is used for charging
and output. Once the charger is plugged in, you will see the lights in the battery symbol ascend from
bottom to top. When the battery symbol is fully lit, the unit is completely charged and you should
proceed to remove the charger from the hardness tester.
