IMPORTANT:
- ALWAYS TURN THE INSTRUMENT OFF BEFORE CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER.
- DO NOT LEAVE THE BATTERIES DISCHARGED FOR LONG PERIODS.
- ALWAYS CHARGE THE BATTERIES AT NIGHT FOR AT LEAST 8-10 HOURS, EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT
COMPLETELY DISCHARGED.
USEFUL INFORMATION:
1. The batteries supplied are high quality, tested individually, to guarantee an autonomy of
between 2 hours MIN and 3 hours MAX depending on the following conditions:
– the use of the “AUTO OFF” function, that automatically turns off the meter after 5 minutes of
inactivity (saving up to 30%),
– the LNB power consumption: Single, Dual or Quadruple,
– the external temperature: with temperatures of less than 10°C, 20% of the capacity is lost,
– the age of the batteries: a 10% loss in efficiency each year,
– May we remind you that with dual DISPLAY meters, if you turn off the colour TFT DISPLAY and
only use the BW graphics display, battery duration will double.
2. The battery indicator has a +/- 20% tolerance (like all battery powered electronic devices)
according to the following factors:
– the battery’s charging percentage,
– external temperature & battery wear and tear status.
