5.1 Recharging the battery
The Platemeter should always be switched OFF during
recharging.
The rechargeable battery should give years of service
before needing to be replaced. If it does need replacing,
the instructions on how to do this are in Replacing the
Rechargeable Battery section.
Attach the charger that was supplied with your Platemeter
to the small socket on the side of the counter and turn the
wall socket on. The battery will take 5 hours to recharge. No
damage will occur to the Platemeter if the charger is left on
beyond this time.
F200 - the display will show Ch and decimal points will scroll
along the bottom of the display, when charged the display will
show FULL. The battery is now charged.
F300 - the display will show - 300 this is time in minutes (5
hours). The display will count down to ‘0’, after which the
display will show FULL and the unit will give 3 beeps. The
battery is now charged.
CAUTION: Do not use any charger other than the one supplied with the
Platemeter. This will void the product warranty.
