Chapter 3 PERFORMING MEASUREMENTS
3-5
When Using the Battery Pack
•To prevent trouble with the battery pack, check its appearance periodically for
damage, such as cracks and deformation, and battery fluid leakage.
•If the charged battery pack is stored for a long period of time, the operating time
will be shortened due to natural discharge.
•To prevent over discharge, the battery pack must be charged periodically (every
other month).
•Charging of the battery pack must be performed at temperatures of 5°C to 35°C.
Charging outside this temperature range may not only deteriorate the battery
pack’s performance or shorten its life, but in the worst case may also prevent
charging.
•If you are not going to use the instrument for a long period of time, the battery
pack must be removed from the instrument. The battery pack must be stored in an
area of low humidity and at a temperature between −20°C and +60°C.
For the method of charging the battery pack, refer to page 1-19.
1. Read the “Safety Precautions” given at the beginning of this manual thoroughly
to ensure safety.
2. Press the power switch located on the top of the instrument to turn ON the
power.
•The POWER LED will be lit while the power to the instrument is ON.
