Your RO 458s uses rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH)
batteries - using other battery types may void your RO 458s’ warranty.
Warning
Although you can use Alkaline batteries you must not charge your analyser
with Alkaline batteries fitted.
Do not mix NiMH batteries of different capacities or from different
manufacturers – all must be identical.
Turn over your analyser & remove its protective rubber cover. Open the bat-
tery compartment & fit 3 NiMH “AA” rechargeable batteries – check battery
polarity is correct. Replace battery cover & protective rubber cover.
After changing the batteries reset your analyser’s time & date.
Your RO 458s uses a standard Micro USB connector for charging (KANE part
No: USB1).
For best results turn off your analyser then connect your charger – the
charging indicator illuminates & turns off when charging finishes.
Your first charge should be for 8 hours continuously – thereafter NiMH bat-
teries can be topped up at any time, even for short periods.
If the analysers batteries discharge & the analyser enters a ‘low power shut
down’ a 1 hour charge will provide approx 2 hours continuous use.
A
Always dispose of depleted batteries using approved disposal methods that
protect the environment.
