g) LOW BATTERY WARNINGS
The Battery ICON at the top right of the display is used to provide the user with an idea of the
current battery status.
To provide some level of warning of imminent battery life - if the batteries fall below a certain
level then an audio warning occurs and the Battery ICON flashes for immediate attention.
The user has approximately 30 minutes of measuring time left in the battery at this time.
When there is no longer enough power to allow measuring, the Syclone turns OFF.
