BATTERY CHARGING
With fully charged batteries, the 3430 gauge will remain operational
for approximately eight weeks under normal (8-hour day)
conditions.
If the batteries become discharged, the following message will be
displayed on the gauge:
When this display appears, there are a few hours remaining before
the battery must be recharged. In an emergency, a 30-minute
recharge with the DC or AC charger gives several hours of use.
Although batteries cannot be “overcharged,” rechargeable batteries
have a “memory” and repeated unnecessary recharging will shorten
the battery life. If possible, run the batteries down before
recharging.
NOTE
Batteries should not be recharged unless the Battery
Low! indication is displayed!
ALKALINE BATTERY USE
If recharging the NiCad batteries is not an option, alkaline batteries
may be used. A separate battery case (PN 104148) can be purchased
as an option. Note that all information stored in the gauge except the
calibration constants and the chosen language is lost when the
batteries are disconnected.
*** WARNING ***
Battery Low!
CAUTION
Do not mix alkaline and rechargeable batteries in
the gauge. Charging may cause alkaline batteries to
explode!
