status of the batteries.

This symbol indicates that the batteries are at 100% capacity.
There are several symbols which will display the current battery voltage. When these icons are

state are still valid, all test types may not complete their intended duration. The batteries should
be recharged.
This symbol indicates that the batteries are discharged. The PrimeTest will switch itself off after a
short period of time. The batteries must be recharged.

current. This is known as the Top Up Charge.
This symbol indicates that the PrimeTest has detected a fault with the battery or battery charger
circuit. Unplug the PrimeTest from the mains supply and wait 2 minutes before reconnecting the
mains. If the fault persists then return the PrimeTest for service.
5.5 Charging the Battery Pack
