Charging/Replacing the Battery Pack
Charging the Battery Pack
Before using for the first time, charge the sup-
plied battery pack 15. The battery pack can be
charged only when in the measuring tool and on-
ly with the battery charger 42 intended for this
purpose.
Insert the charge connector 41 of the battery
charger into the socket 3 and connect the bat-
tery charger to the power supply. The red indi-
cator on the battery charger lights up during the
charge procedure. Charging an empty battery
pack requires approx. 7 hours.
The charge procedure is ended automatically.
Therefore, disconnect the battery charger 42
from the power supply after the charging has
taken place. The battery charger 42 and the bat-
tery pack 15 are protected against overcharging.
A battery that is new or has not been used for a
longer period does not develop its full capacity
until after approx. 5 charging/discharging cycles.
If the battery pack is empty, the measuring tool
can also be operated off of the battery charger
42 when connected to a power supply. Switch
the measuring tool off, charge the battery pack
for approx. 10 min and then switch the measur-
ing tool on again with the battery charger con-
nected.
Practical Advice on Protection of the
Battery Pack
Do not recharge the battery pack 15 after each
use, as this will reduce its capacity. Recharge
the battery pack only when the battery charge
control indicator 27 flashes or lights up continu-
ously.
A considerably reduced operating period after
charging indicates that the battery pack is used
up and must be replaced.
Replacing the Battery Pack
The supplied battery pack 15 can also be re-
placed against other rechargeable or alkali-man-
ganese batteries. Use only batteries or recharge-
able batteries of the same brand and with the
same capacity. Always replace all of the re-
chargeable batteries/batteries together.
To remove the battery pack, turn the latch of the
battery lid 12 to the
position and take off the
battery lid 13.
Insert either a new battery pack, batteries or
other rechargeable batteries. When inserting,
pay attention to the correct polarity. As a pro-
tective measure against incorrect polarity, the
battery pack 15 can be inserted only in one po-
sition into the battery compartment.
In case other rechargeable batteries/batteries
are inserted incorrectly the measuring tool can-
not be switched on. Remove and reinsert the
other batteries/rechargeable batteries ensuring
correct polarity and wait for one minute until
switching the measuring tool on again.
Reattach the battery lid 13 (only one position
possible) and turn the latch 12 to the posi-
tion.
A fuse ensures that only the battery pack 15 can
be charged in the measuring tool. Other re-
chargeable batteries cannot be charged in the
measuring tool.
f
Remove the battery pack, other rechargea-
ble batteries or batteries from the measur-
ing tool when not using it for long periods.
When storing for extended periods, re-
chargeable batteries/batteries can corrode
and discharge themselves.
