We recommend replacing the batteries every 2 or 3 years to ensure that the 
device will work properly.

Important:

 alkaline batteries may be used in the event of a problem with 

the rechargeable batteries, but they can only be used temporarily until new 
rechargeable batteries are available. If you use alkaline batteries, make sure that 
you do not put the 

WaveMon RF

 in charge mode, to avoid possible damage to the 

batteries and to the device.

10.2 Charging

To charge the 

WaveMon RF

 battery, connect the 

WaveMon RF

 cable to a USB 

charger or a computer. A full charge takes approximately 4 to 5 hours. The 
charge takes place in two stages:
•  Charge: the 

WaveMon RF

 shows the level indicators in blue while the batteries 

are charging.

•  End of charge: the 

WaveMon RF

 shows the level indicator in green.

Note:

 we recommend making a full charge at least once a month to extend the useful 

life of the batteries.

 

Note 2: 

when connected to a computer, the 

WaveMon RF

 cannot be running the 

program and charging at the same time. The procedure is as follows: when it is 
connected to a computer, the 

WaveMon RF

 waits for 3 minutes before going to 

charge mode, in case the user wishes to connect the 

WaveMon RF

 to the computer 

program and download measurements. After 3 minutes without detecting the PC 
program, the 

WaveMon RF 

switches to battery charge mode. If the device is in charge 

mode and you wish to connect the 

WaveMon RF

 to the computer program, you will 

need to disconnect it and then reconnect the USB to have the program recognise it.
