Starting up an instrument with low battery
level
A turned-off instrument with low battery level (<15%)
will not start up automatically when placed in the
charging station. However, an instrument with sufficient
battery level (>15%) starts up automatically.
In order for an instrument to start up and to operate, its
battery must have sufficient charge (>15%). When it
does not, the battery must be allowed to charge to a
sufficient level so that the instrument can start up.
i
When left in the charging station until it has
charged sufficiently, the instrument will not start
up automatically. You must turn it on.
r To start up an instrument with low
battery level
1 Place the instrument in the charging station and do
one of the following:
• If the instrument starts up normally, no further
action is required.
• If the instrument buzzes, the screen turns white,
and a short battery animation is displayed, the
instrument has insufficient battery charge to start
up. Leave the instrument in the charging station to
charge.
2 After allowing the instrument battery to charge, leave
the instrument in the charging station, and then press
the on/off switch.
f If the instrument has sufficient battery charge, it
starts up.
f If the instrument displays a white battery icon it
still has insufficient battery charge to start up.
Allow further charging time and then repeat this
step.
