B4 Battery Mode
LCM plus can be used with power supply unit or rechargeable batteries. For the latter mode, open
the cover of the battery compartment and insert the batteries as follows:
4. Insert the battery with the switch to the right into the holder until only one contact remains
visible.
5. Shift the battery from the left side over the contacts, passing a slight resistance.
6. A beep indicates that the batteries are placed and ready for operation (only when the
instrument is not connected to the mains).
Attention: The contacts must not get into contact with metal or greasy parts.
To recharge the batteries, insert them into the compartment and connect LCM plus to the mains
with the power supply unit. We recommend a continuous loading time of 14 hours before the first
use. To exploit the battery capacity best, charge and discharge it always entirely. The display of
LCM plus informs about the current discharge degree of the battery when the instrument is turned
on. When the battery is discharged, a beep and a display message are given. The message must
be acknowledged with the grey menu key to go on working for a short while. The display
message “battery empty” means that the battery is definitely discharged and needs recharging.
