Caution:

Use of this gage other than specified by the manufacturer is not recommended.

Use only Starrett replacement Battery Pack and Charger. Follow the charging conditions we specify.

Do not short-circuit the battery pack or disassemble the battery pack. This is dangerous and may cause heat
generation or fluid leakage.

Do not throw the battery into a fire or heat excessively.

Charge the batteries between 32 and 104°F (0 and 40°C). Charging the battery outside this range may cause the
batteries to leak, generate heat and shorten the service life of the batteries.

Store the batteries between 32 and 104° F (0 and 40°C). Storing the batteries outside this range may shorten the
service life of the batteries.

If the battery pack leaks fluids, changes shape, changes color or changes in any other form then discontinue use.

If the Battery Pack fails to charge in the prescribed period of time, do not recharge. The batteries could leak and
damage the gage. Replace the battery. Only use Starrett replacement battery pack.

If fluid from the battery comes in contact with the skin, wash the area immediately with clean water. Battery
fluid can injure the skin.

If fluid from the battery comes in contact with the eyes, wash them immediately with clean water (do not rub).
Battery fluid in the eyes can cause loss of sight.

Do not use this gage where it will be directly exposed to cutting fluids, water, dust, etc.

Do not use this gage where it will be exposed to direct sunlight, or drafts of hot or cold air.
Battery Charging - Battery charging automatically shuts off
after a predetermined time determined by the battery level. If
the Low Battery ICON is displayed this time will be fourteen
hours. The tool may be used while charging and may be left
connected to the charger if desired. (Figure 36) The Charge
circuit will maintain a charge after the battery is fully charged
without damaging the battery.
Installation Category - The Altissimo is an Installation
Category II device.
Important: If the Gage will not be used for an extended
period of time, remove the batteries. This will prevent the
possibility of a leaking battery damaging the case.
Replacing Batteries - The Altissimo uses advanced NiMH
Batteries, which should last many hundreds of recharge cycles.
If the batteries need to be replaced make sure all power is off
by unplugging the AC Adapter and switching the On/Off
switch to the 0 position. Remove Data Output Cable. Remove
the front cover of the electronics enclosure by unscrewing the
3 Phillips head screws located at the rear of the Display. (See
Figure 37)
Carefully remove the Front Cover and disconnect the Ground
Cable, Battery Cable and Display Cable from the
PC Board. (See Figure 38) Place the Display in a safe place.
The battery pack is mounted with Velcro, Carefully pull the
battery pack free and noting the orientation of the cable push
the new Battery Pack firmly in place Carefully reconnect the
Display Cable, Battery Cable and Ground Cable to the PC
Board. Screw the Front Cover back into place. Be careful not
to over tighten the screws.
Note: The Battery Charger must be inserted after replacing the
batteries in order to reinitialize the tool even if the battery pack
is fully charged.
