When the unit displays
“BATTERIES NEED
CHARGE *,”
you cannot use the unit without
recharging or replacing the batteries. Press the
(star
key) as prompted to put the unit in charge mode.
Caution
Promptly remove discharged alkaline batteries from the unit; they
can leak and damage the contacts. Damage of this kind voids
your warranty.
2.3
Damaged nickel-cadmium batteries can make the
battery status message go quickly from
“
CHARGE TONIGHT
” to “
NEED CHARGE.
” If this
happens, discharge the batteries as much as possible, then
overcharge them with either the internal or an external
charger. Repeat this cycle twice.
