4.1 Supplying Power
The instrument operates on a Lithium battery pack located
in the rear of its housing, or by using the power adapter
(
Figure 4-1). To remove the battery compartment cover,
first remove the four thumb-screws. The standard Lithium
battery pack will provide maximum operating life between
charging.
NOTE: Only the dedicated GEIT Lithium battery pack
should be used. Only this pack can be charged while
installed in the instrument.
