2.5.3 Charge the battery
You can charge the battery in the instrument (Section 2.6) or
you can use the optional external battery charger; see
Section 1.4 (Accessories).
2.5.4 Charge times
Note: You can use the instrument while the DC charger is
charging the battery but this increases the charge time.
2.5.5 Operating time
These are typical operating times for a new, fully charged
Li-polymer battery pack with these settings:
• Backlight Intensity set to 80% (Default: 80%)
• Backlight Timeout set to 2 hours (Default: 2 minutes)
Power save options To get the best battery duration, set a low value for the
Backlight Intensity (40%) and a short Timeout; see
