Battery life
Figures for approximate battery life when using the Battery Unit BP-17 are
given below.
These fi gures are for using three UV-15 units.
Manganese batteries Alkaline batteries
Continuous operation at ambient tem-
perature of 25°C, with CHARGE set-
ting*, normal operation mode
* With CCLD setting, battery life will
be about 30 percent shorter.
Approx. 2 hours Approx. 8 hours
For details on how to insert batteries and for other information, please refer
to the documentation of the BP-17.
Important
When the upper LED is off and the lower LED lights up in red, you
should replace the batteries with a fresh set.
When the lower LED is fl ashing in red, correct measurement is no
longer possible.
Before replacing the batteries, be sure to set the power switch to
OFF (press side).
When inserting batteries, take care not to mix up "+" and "−" polarity.
Always replace all eight batteries together. Using a mixture of old and
new batteries or batteries of a different type can lead to malfunction
and damage.
When not using the unit, remove the batteries to guard against the
risk of damage by leaking battery fl uid.
When powering a system from batteries using the BP-17, the maxi-
mum number of UV-15 units that can be linked is three.
