Each battery compartment has a separate fuse. This is a 2A-axial
component soldered on the back of each battery contact spring
board. These fuses prevent catastrophic failure of the batteries or
fire (if a short circuit occurs), even if the problem occurs within
one battery chamber.
A self-mending fuse protects the 12V sensor power. If a short
does occur, the fuse mends itself after the short gets repaired.
With nominal voltage, the display may go blank for a few
seconds until the self-mending fuse opens, but the unit does not
necessarily reset. At low battery voltages, the unit may either
reset or power off.
CAUTION: These operations do not damage the unit, but
could cause the loss of memory contents and/or data.
