Taking Care of your Battery

ProBER 2 uses a high-performance Nickel Metal Hydride (NMH)

rechargeable battery pack that may not be fully charged when you

receive the instrument. Whatever the state of charge, use

ProBER 2 until the battery is completely exhausted before being

given its first charge. This ensures better accuracy from the battery

charge indicator. Maximum accuracy is obtained after the battery

has been fully discharged and recharged twice. Access the

indicator by choosing ,, ,

. It takes a few minutes for the indicator to stabilize.

Charging your Battery

To recharge the battery, first fit the appropriate adapter (supplied)

to the charger, as shown. Normally the battery will be fully

charged after 5 hours.

Note that ProBER 2 can be used while the battery is charging.
