1.1 Supplying Power to the Instrument (cont.)
The
DMS Go
can be powered in either of two ways (see
•
A lithium-ion battery pack that is installed in a compartment on the rear of the case, or
•
An external power adapter plugged into the connector on the side of the case
CAUTION! Use only the GEIT supplied lithium-ion battery pack in this instrument, and charge only this battery pack in the
instrument or in the provided GEIT charger/adapter.
To remove the battery compartment cover, loosen the two 1/4-turn screws and then lift up on the slot between the screws. The standard
GEIT lithium-ion battery pack is designed to provide maximum operating life between chargings.
The approximate level of remaining battery life is shown on the display (see
) by the battery icon,
, and the
approximate
“hours of charge”
indication below the icon. When a fully-charged battery pack is installed, the icon will appear as
“full,”
and
the icon will begin to
“empty”
as the battery life is depleted. If you remove the battery pack, the rear side of the pack offers a button. There
you will find a button that illuminates up to 5 blue LEDs, each of them representing @20% of battery charge (on) or discharge (off). If you
see all 5 LEDs lit, it means you have a fully charged pack. When the battery indicator is down to one-quarter full, charge the battery pack as
soon as possible.
Note:
The instrument automatically shuts
OFF
when the batteries are too weak for reliable operation. However, your settings are saved
and then restored when the instrument is turned back
ON
. When testing in remote locations, always carry a spare battery pack.
