2.4 Battery Power Remaining Display
Battery power remaining display indicates the power condition.
Battery Power Remaining Display
Measurement is possible.
The power is poor. The battery should be recharged or replaced
with a fully charged battery.
Measurement is impossible -- need to recharge or replaces the battery.
Note:
1) The battery operating time will vary depending on the environmental conditions such as
ambient temperature, charging time, the number of times of charging and discharging etc. It
is recommended for safety to charge the battery beforehand or to prepare spare full charged
batteries.
2) For general usage of the battery, see Chapter 9 “POWER SOURCE AND CHARGING” .
3) The battery power remaining display shows the power level regarding to the measurement
mode now operating.
The safety condition indicated by the battery power remaining display in the angle
measurement mode does not necessarily assure the battery‘s ability to be used in the
distance measurement mode.
It may happen that the mode change from the angle mode to the distance mode will stop the
operation because of insufficient battery power for the distance mode which consumes more
power than angle mode.
4) When the measurement mode is changed, it rarely may happen that the Battery Power
Remaining Display will decrease or increase two steps momentarily because of the
accuracy of the battery checking system is rough. It is not trouble with the instrument.
