Checking battery power
Typically, the life of the battery is approximately 40 hours nominal without
LED activated (see Appendix A for specific specifications). It is
recommended to perform a daily download of the measured data while
simultaneously charging the battery for maximum efficiency. A quick
recharge with the EdgeDock ranges from 2 to 4 hours when half of the
battery power is expended.
There are two battery identifiers on the dosimeter which are the battery
indicator icon and the battery power clock (see Figure 4-3).

Checking battery power
1. The battery indicator icon (located at the top right of your screen)
gives an approximation of battery life and is always present.

If the battery indicator is half shaded, this illustrates you have
approximately 17 hours of battery life remaining.

If lobat appears, less than 8 hours of run time is available.
2. Additionally, there is a battery time remaining measurement which
identifies the number of hours and minutes remaining on the dosimeter.
3. To view, press the up/down arrows . This will navigate your
through the views of the dosimeter.
✍
NOTE: The battery time remaining measurement can be disabled
from the view of the meter. See Chapter 3 for explanation on
changing the display
