8.2 CHECKING POWER – BATTERY
The Battery position enables checking the power source
condition. The instrument can be powered from four AAA
rechargeable or standard alkaline batteries or from the
USB interface when its USB Device socket is connected
to a PC or to another USB source by the standard SC 156
micro USB cable.
The view presented on the display depends on the
current power source.
Note: The SC 156 cable is not the same as a mini USB cable such as the SC 56 used on
some other Svantek instruments and be care not to force the wrong plug into the socket on
the bottom of the instrument.
When the instrument is powered from a set of internal
batteries the current battery voltage is displayed together
with its approximate charging state in the graphical
format.
Select the correct type of batteries for the right detection
of the charging state of the battery pack. Two types of
batteries are available: Alkaline and Rechargeable.
Note: Rechargeable batteries must be extracted and charged with the use of an external
charger. They cannot be charged when fitted inside the instrument.
