6.8. BATTERY MANAGEMENT
The meter will perform an auto-diagnostic test when it is powered on. During this test,
the Hanna
®
logo will appear on the LCD. After 5 seconds, if the test was successful,
the last method selected will appear on the display. The battery icon on the LCD will
indicate the battery status:
- battery full
- battery below 10%, replace the batteries soon
- battery is low, replace the batteries with new ones
To conserve battery, the meter will turn off automatically after 15 minutes of inactivity.
If a zero reading has been done but not a read, auto-off time is increased to 30 minutes.
