7.2 Battery Life
The time required between battery changes can vary with usage, functions enabled,
temperature, duration of use and recovery time, display update rate, battery grade and
more.
To maximize battery life:
l Disable radio if not being used. Even if an optional radio board is not
installed, the software will run, if enabled.
l Disable other functions such as RS-232 and backlight.
l Warm environments result in longer battery life over cool environments.
l Use high quality alkaline batteries. Do not use rechargeable batteries.
l Turn off instrument when not in use. Alkaline batteries partially recover when
the instrument is off.
7.3 Care
The EDXtreme is built to be rugged and endure typical industrial and commercial use.
It is still, however, a precision instrument that should be treated with care. Store the
instrument in its carry case with power off. Remove batteries if not being used.
CAUTION: Remove batteries from instrument when using the external AC
power supply.
