Battery indicator
The battery symbol on the LCD display contains four pairs of
segments. The battery is monitored continuously when the
instrument is turned on. The charge remaining in the battery is
indicated by segment pairs as follows:
Fully charged battery
50% charged battery
Tests cannot be started, insufficient charge
Symbol flashes when there is not enough
charge for a test and the instrument will
turn itself off.
When mains power is present the indicator
shows the battery is being charged by
animating the segments of the bar graph.
A blinking full battery icon indicates that the battery is prevented
from charging due to the temperature being out of the allowable
charge temperature range, 0 ºC to 40 ºC, or that the battery has
failed.
