When the battery level falls below the minimum allowable level the T-Mike E will turn off and not allow further
operations until batteries are replaced or recharged.
H. Replacing or Recharging Batteries
The T-Mike E comes standard with 4 AA alkaline batteries. The user may elect to use rechargeable NiCad AA
batteries that can be inserted as a direct replacement of the alkaline cells. The NiCad batteries may be
charged externally or in the T-Mike E as described below.
To change the batteries, loosen the screw on the bottom end cap and remove the spent batteries. Replace
batteries with fresh Alkaline AA cells or recharged NiCad AA cells.
Care must be used to replace the batteries in the correct polarity as indicated on the battery holder.
To recharge the NiCad batteries in the T-Mike E connect the optional battery charger to the combination DATA/
CHARGER jack on the top end cap of the T-Mike E. The NiCad batteries will be fully charged in approximately
14 hours.
NOTE: After changing batteries be sure to perform the probe zero procedure and recalibrate the T-Mike-E for
the material to be measured.
