RECHARGEABLE BATTERY
Rechargeable Battery Care and Maintenance
The rechargeable battery in your tool will last far longer when
maintained properly. When the charge on the battery is getting low,
a battery symbol will be visible on the bottom left side of the display
(Fig.6D). When you see this icon, charge the battery at the next
opportunity. See Fig.6C-E below for information about changes to the
battery icon and what they mean. Fig.6A shows where to attach the
USB Micro B side of the cable into the tool. The USB cable is keyed to
plug in only one way, check the orientation of the cable end and the
USB port before plugging in the cable. The tool may be used while
it is plugged in. If you wait to long to recharge the battery, the tool
will automatically shut down completely to conserve the remaining
charge on the battery. The battery must have a minimum charge to
be recharged. If the tool will not turn on with the Zero button or slide
movement, then you must charge the tool. When the tool is plugged
in after being completely shutdown, the tool will go through an
initialization startup phase, See “Startup Sequence” in this manual,
Pg.7. We recommend that the tool only be charged when the battery
icon is visible to help prolong battery life. Depending on use, the
time between charges could be weekly under heavy use or monthly
under light use.
