12. MAINTENANCE
12.1. Powering and charging
The instrument is not equipped with an internal charger; therefore, the rechargeable batteries can be charged
only after removal them out of the instrument with the use of optionally provided charger (
SA 31
).
To change or charge the batteries the user
has to switch off the instrument, unscrew
the bolt and disconnect the black bottom
cover from the instrument and then slide
the battery tubes out.
Note: While changing the batteries, observe the correct polarity.
Powering the instrument from the USB interface is performed by connecting
its
USB
socket to the PC or other USB power source via the
SC 56
cable.
When the instrument is powered from the USB interface the internal
batteries are automatically disconnected. Once disconnected from the USB
interface the instrument will automatically switch powering to the internal
batteries.
Note: Use only high quality mini USB cables, such as SC 56. Many poor-quality cables do not
ensure low resistance of the cable, thus disabling proper operation of the instrument.
Note: To improve accuracy of remaining battery life indicator, run the instrument until it is fully
discharged; then proceed with a full charge via the mini USB port. The procedure is recommended
before first use. Repeat this procedure every few months of use to maintain more accurate current
battery condition indication.
