14. Recharging the Battery
The
symbol flashes when the battery drops below 5.60 volts. The
battery should be recharged at this point. If the battery is not recharged,
the
WP-80M
will switch itself off when the battery drops below 5.00 volts.
To recharge the battery…
1. Plug the battery charger, solar panel, or car cigarette lighter adaptor
into the
Charger/RS232
socket.
DO NOT
plug into the
Temperature
socket, as this will damage the
WP-80M
.
2. Charge for approximately 8 hours for full capacity. The
WP-80M
has
special circuitry to prevent overcharging, so the charger can be used
continuously.
3. To ensure optimum battery life and capacity, the
WP-80M
should
only be charged once the
symbol starts to flash.
