METRACELL BT PRO GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH Operating time is approximately 10 hours when the batteries are fully charged. A warning is generated when battery voltage drops to below 4.8 V. The battery tester can be operated for approximately one more hour after this warning is generated. 4.2 Attach the Carrying Strap (optional) The battery tester indicates readiness for operation and successful acquisition of measured values by means of an acoustic signal for all measurements and repeat measurements.
GMC-I Messtechnik GmbH METRACELL BT PRO Note! The battery tester can also be switched off by pressing the Function key. The key must be pressed and held for approximately 10 seconds to this end. However, it’s preferable to switch the instrument off using the switch off function. 4.4 Getting Started After switching the instrument on (11), the main menu appears at the display. This is the central menu from which all other hierarchically subordinate menus and functions can be accessed.
