Charging the Battery
The battery charge indicator will show a rotating bar when the
charger is plugged in. The gage will display a “C” indicating that the
battery is charging, and an “S” when the charging is complete
(approximately 2 hours).
Replacing the Battery
The NiCad battery looses the ability to hold a full charge after several
hundred recharges. To replace an old battery pack, follow the steps
below:
1.
Open the battery panel on the back of the gage case by loosening
the four (4) captive screws.
2.
Once the case is open, extract the battery by gently pulling the
black strap at the right end of the battery.
3.
Carefully remove the plug that connects the wire from the battery
pack to the circuit board of the gage.
4.
Connect the new battery pack with the label side facing out.
5.
Replace the battery panel and tighten the screws.
The internal memory will be maintained for over an hour when the
battery is removed. If a new battery is installed in less than an hour,
no calibration or thickness data will be lost.
