BATTERIES
The gauge is equipped with a rechargeable nickel-metal hydride
(NiMH) battery pack containing five C batteries (see Figure C–2).
When the NiMH batteries drop below 5.5 V, the gauge shuts off.
Troxler recommends that the operator recharge the NiMH batteries,
as described on page C–12. The NiMH batteries can be fully
recharged in only 3 hours.
Backup gauge power can also be supplied using the AA alkaline
batteries supplied with the gauge as described on page C–14.
Table C–2 shows the typical operating life of a new, fully charged
NiMH battery pack and a set of new AA alkaline batteries. As
shown in the table, the typical battery operating life is impacted by
the use of the backlight and whether or not the gauge is equipped
with a GPS unit (available only on the Model 3440 Plus).
BATTERY STATUS
The Battery Status function displays the voltage and charge status of
the NiMH batteries, as well as the status (GOOD or BAD) of the
charge calibration. To access the Battery Status function, press
〈SETUP〉 to display the Setup menu, then press 〈9〉. The gauge
displays:
If the battery voltage is 6.0 volts or less, recharge the batteries as
described on page C–12. If the charge calibration is BAD,
recalibrate as described on page C–12.
Press 〈ENTER/START〉 to return to the Setup menu.
