14.1 Battery
The built-in Li-Ion-Mn battery has a very large capacity which is monitored
continuously. When the state of charge is running low the battery symbol is
shown on the display and the battery has to be charged.
In order to prevent damage to the battery, the instrument
switches off automatically before the battery is completely
drained. The ZRS 6060 announces this by displaying the
symbol
and a message.
In order to preserve the battery,
the „Auto off time“ can be
changed, as described in chapter 13.6.4
