The PTE will respond by displaying the following:
Auto Shut off
Disable Enable
If Enable is selected the HHC will automatically turn
off if there is no keypad activity detected for a period of
10 minutes. If Disable is selected the HHC will remain
on continuously until the battery voltage is no longer
sufficient to power the system. The battery save mode
selected is stored in Electrically Erasable Programmable
Read Only Memory (EEPROM). As such it does not
require reprogramming on power up.
note: An optional AC adapter is available for long term
continuous measurement activities.
Section 3.4.2 Set Up for Battery Charge Level
Indication
If this function is not set up pressing the BAT CK key
will provide a measurement of the remaining voltage
of the installed batteries.
If the battery check function is set up, the HHC can
provide an estimate of the remaining battery life. This
estimate is expressed as a percentage of the expected
30 hour life of newly installed alkaline batteries. Use
of non-alkaline, lithium or rechargeable batteries will
render the life expectancy estimate inaccurate.
This
function should be set up only when new batteries
are installed.
If this function is not set up pressing the BATCK key
will provide the measured remaining voltage of the
installed batteries.
To have the capability to check the estimated remaining
battery life follow the steps below.
Step 1 Press the On/OFF key on the keypad to turn
the power on to the base unit.
