3. OPERATION
3.1 Battery Instalation
Caution:
•
Before any manipulation with the battery, the
instrument must be turned off.
The instrument is powered by one 9 V battery type
6LF22 IEC standard. The battery is housed in the rear
compartment of the instrument. The covering lid can be
removed by unscrewing the fixing screw. The battery is
then removed by pulling out the textile strip. A new
battery is then connected, the textile strip inserted and
the battery put in.
Caution:
•
The battery compartment is not waterproof. If the
interior gets wet, the compartment must be dried
to prevent the contacts from corroding.
•
If long-term storage of the KT-6 is anticipated,
remove the battery from the instrument to prevent
damage from electrolytic leakage. After long
storage always inspect the battery.
If a standard dry battery is used, the operation time will
exceed 100 hours. The instrument can also be powered
by a rechargeable battery. The operating time is then
shorter, approximately 30 hours. It is necessary to
recharge the battery outside the instrument using the
charger.
