Battery Power indicator:


At any screen, presskey to open the Quick Setting Menu.
Select Battery, battery level will be seen following Battery Level.


NOTE:

1. The battery’s working time will be affected by many factors, such as ambient temperature, recharging time, recharging and discharging times. So we suggest the users recharge the battery full or prepare several full batteries before operation.

2. The battery symbol only indicates power capability for current measurement mode. The power consumption in distance measurement mode is more than in angle mode, if the instrument enters into distance measurement mode from angle mode, the power maybe auto-off because of lower battery.

3. The symbol only indicates the supply power but not the instantaneous power change. And if the measurement mode changes, the symbol will not show the power’s decrease or increase immediately.

4. It is suggested that user should check every battery power before field work.
