5.6 Battery States
The battery icon on the display shows how much charge is in the battery and alerts you to any charging
problems.
Full charge 2/3 charge
1/3 charge
Low charge Battery alert
When the battery’s charge falls below a preset voltage, the instrument warns you by beeping
once and flashing once every minute, and the “empty battery” icon blinks on and off once per
second. The instrument automatically powers down within 10 minutes, after which you will
need to either recharge the battery, or replace it with a fresh one with a full charge.
5.7 Alkaline Battery Pack
An alkaline battery adapter is supplied with each instrument. The adapter (part number M01-3054-000) is
installed and removed just like the rechargeable battery. It accepts four AA alkaline batteries
(use only Duracell
MN1500) and provides approximately 8 hours of normal operation.
Note:
The vibration alarm is disabled whenever the alkaline adapter is used.
To replace the alkaline adapter’s batteries:
1.
Remove the hex-socket screw at the end of the adapter.
2.
Lift the cover off the battery compartment.
3.
Insert four fresh AA batteries as indicated by the polarity (+/-) markings.
4.
Replace the cover and replace the hex screw.
IMPORTANT!
Alkaline batteries cannot be recharged. The instrument’s internal circuit detects alkaline battery pack and
will not allow recharging. If you try to charge alkaline batteries installed in the instrument, the Charging
Cradle or Travel Charger’s charging LED does not glow, indicating that it will not charge them.
The alkaline battery adapter accepts four AA alkaline batteries (use only Duracell MN1500). Do not mix
old and new batteries or batteries from different manufacturers.
Note:
When replacing alkaline batteries, properly dispose of old ones.
