WARNINGS

Read Before Operating
The User’s Guide must be carefully read by all indi-viduals who have or will have the responsibility of using, maintaining, or servicing this product. The product will perform as designed only if it is used, maintained, and serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Note: When the battery’s charge falls below a preset voltage, the instrument beeps and flashes once every minute, and the “empty battery” icon blinks on and off once per second. You should recharge the battery.

Charging The Instrument

Always fully charge the battery before use. In safe settings, use the AC Charge input with the included power adapter. Align the connector and plug and then press in and turn the ring until it clicks.

Make sure the charger is firmly attached. Then connect the AC Adapter’s plug to the charger, and plug its transformer into an AC outlet. For intrinsically safe charging via a SolarPak or Hazardous Area Charger, connect to the IS Charge input. While charging, the “battery” icon along the top of the screen is animated. When the battery is fully charged, the icon shows a full battery and does not animate. (Consult the User’s Guide for more details on charging.)

Turning The Instrument On/Off
