DIPSTICK
®
BATTERY
Your Dipstick 2277 is powered by a rechargeable Ni-Cad battery pack that is contained in the
body of the Dipstick
®
unit. You can expect 10 hours or more of operation before recharging is
necessary. The computer will monitor the
voltage in the Dipstick
®
as you use it.
(Collect/Voltage gets you the Dipstick voltage)
LOW BATTERY (LOBAT)
The Dipstick LOBAT indicator will engage at
10.7 volts. (A full charge will yield 13.2 or more
volts of battery power.) You can check the
voltage from by using COLLECT/VOLTAGE.
This will report the current voltage reading
within the Dipstick.
AUTO-SHUTDOWN (OFF)
The Dipstick itself will let you know when the battery voltage is too low to collect data. The
Dipstick will give a series of 3 short beeps to let you know that the batteries need to be recharged
and will automatically shut down if the voltage
drops below the critical voltage. (10.5 volts)
When it does this, the screen will display the
word OFF.
At this point, you cannot collect data and need
to recharge the Dipstick batteries. While you
are doing this, recharge the Handle Battery and
the Tablet too.
