Fig. 3.2
Sufficient battery capacity
• The
FRED easy®
checks the capacity of the rechargeable NiCd battery or the lith-
ium battery and warns the user when the battery is "low" or "depleted".
• The lithium battery ensures that the device stays fully operative (and performs the
self-test) for several years (at a temperature between 15 °C and 25 °C), provided
that the device is not being used.
• Battery service life depends on device use and ambient conditions.
Whatever its remaining capacity, the battery must be replaced once the expira-
tion date (indicated on the packaging) has been reached.
The old battery must be recycled in accordance with local regulations.
FRED easy®
displays the
symbol to indicate that the battery capacity is "suffi-
cient".
