Installing a Battery Pack
IMPORTANT
• Be sure to charge Battery Packs when using them for the rst time after purchase or for the rst
time after an extended period of non-use. Battery Pack capacity declines due to self-discharge.
• When operating time has become signicantly shorter even though the Battery Pack was
charged properly, the Battery Pack has reached its service life. Replace it with a new Battery
Pack.
• Connect Battery Packs to the instrument or wireless module correctly.
• Charge Battery Packs within the ambient temperature range of 5°C to 35°C. Charging Battery
Packs at a low temperature of close to 5°C will result in lower charge than at 23°C. The amount
of time the instrument or wireless module can operate on the Battery Pack will decrease as the
temperature falls.
• When not using a Battery Pack for an extended period of time, remove it from the instrument or
wireless module and store it at about 20°C. Charge each Battery Pack for about 30 min. with
the instrument or a wireless module once a year.
• Battery Packs are consumables. Each Battery Pack’s service life (dened as the period of time
during which its capacity is at least 70% of the initial capacity) is about 300 charge/discharge
cycles. (Service life varies with storage method and operating environment.)
• For reasons related to Battery Pack characteristics, the indicated remaining battery life may
diverge from the actual remaining battery life due to factors such as settings during use,
operating temperature, and the number of battery charge/discharge cycles.
