Chapter 1 The Dynamix 2500 Data Collector
This table shows the typical battery life for a fully charged battery pack
You can check the status of the battery also in the instrument by pressing the
decimal (.) key. This function is available on most screens.
The Battery status display reports the status of the internal battery and the
condition of the instrument’s back-up battery. The back-up battery charges while
the instrument is connected to the external DC power adapter or when the
instrument is powered on using the internal battery.
