of time, such as, in transportation or refrigeration.

: Battery life varies depending upon the type of battery, the 

measuring environment, the frequency of communication, and the ambient 

temperature in which it is used. Specifications and explanations used in 

this User's Manual are based on operations carried out with a new battery 

and are in no way a guarantee of your actual battery life.
