Temperature or an internal oxidation of the battery affects the battery voltage. If the
instrument is stored for a long period, the low battery warning may be displayed
even though the battery has enough capacity. The low battery warning may also
be displayed at low temperatures, even though the battery has enough capacity in
warmer conditions. In these cases repeat the battery check procedure.
After battery check the Low Battery Warning is indicated by the battery symbol
(Fig. 3.4.).
If the battery symbol is displayed in the Surf ace mode or if the display is faded
or weak, the battery may be too lo w to operate the di ve computer and battery
replacement is recommended.
