3.2 Connectors and Strap
The connector for an external detector and an external charger
is in the bottom of the instrument. There is also the fixing lug of
the wrist strap. The round connector (Binder 702 series) is used
for external probes, for cable connections and for external
alarming devices.

Note: Charging connectors are used when the instrument is placed into the
car cradle. In case the RDS-31 uses alkaline batteries, the instrument is not
charged with this connection but it will overdrive the batteries instead thus
eliminating the power consumption of the batteries.
Note: Using existing external detectors may require use of a cable adapter.
The adapter transforms the connector of the detector to the suitable
receptacle for RDS-31. In some case the cable adapter is required also to
make the detector electrically compatible with the instrument.
3.3 Push Buttons
There are two push buttons above the instrument display. It
ensures that the user always has the best possible grip on the
instrument even when operating the buttons.

The buttons have bossed and cut features so that they are easy
to distinguish from one another. In addition, the pressure
threshold of the buttons is slightly higher than in typical buttons
