What about traveling?
During the time you are in the Ratings, you may find that you have to
be away from home for several days. Here are two simple rules:
1. If you are going to be away from home no more than two
nights, take your Personal Meter with you. When you return
home, place your Personal Meter in its Recharger for at least
four hours when you go to sleep.
2. If away for three or more nights at a time, please leave your Personal Meter in its
Recharger while you are away.
With a full four-hour charge, your Personal Meter will work for up to 30 hours before
the battery runs down. When this happens, the green light will turn off and the Meter
will shut down. The Meter is saving the information it has already picked up, but there
is not enough battery power to collect new information. You must recharge it before you
can use it again.
When in doubt, take your Personal Meter with you. We want to pick up as much of your
viewing and listening, even if it means that the battery might run down. You can
recharge it when you get home.
