Chapter 7: Storage and Disposal
Storage
• Store away from direct sunlight
• Store in a location with normal temperature and humidity
• Store in a location free of gases, solvents, and vapors
• Store away from dust and dirt
• The instrument must always be stored with a battery pack that is either fully charged (Li-ion
version) or has fresh batteries installed (alkaline version). The sensors use a small amount of
power even when the instrument is turned off. It is important to replace or recharge the
batteries every 6 months during storage. If a GX-3R Pro completely loses power during
storage, the date/time must be reset as described on page 113.
• To store a Li-ion battery pack by itself, discharge the battery to 1 bar in the battery icon and
then remove it from the GX-3R Pro.
• To store an alkaline pack by itself, remove the batteries.
