Charging The Battery
The meter’s battery will be charged when you receive it. We recommended that you charge the unit overnight
to fully energize the batteries. If you absolutely can’t wait that long, at least give it a four hour charge. Overnight
charging will allow some trickle charging which Ni-MH batteries need to come up to full performance.
The batteries will need to be recharged occasionally even if the unit has not been used. Recharge batteries
approximately every three weeks to keep the battery pack charged .

The Vehicle (12 Vdc) charge port is on the right
side of the unit. Plug the ‘D.C. Auto Charger
cord’ into the bottom socket and then into a
‘lighter’ socket in your vehicle. The ‘D.C. Auto
Charger cord’ supplied with your BirDog is the
only lead to use for car charging. The use of
any other lead can damage the meter and will
void the warranty.
