Power Management
The handset monitors both itself and the base station for the charge status of the
battery packs. If either battery pack voltage falls below a predetermined level the
handset will display a warning to cease testing and recharge the units. Approximately
five minutes before the batteries reach the automatic shutdown point, a message is
flagged to warn you of the low battery state and thus the imminent shutdown.
1. Low Base Station Battery
• Indicated by the handset battery symbol flashing ‘empty’ and the green LED
on the base station flashing
2. Low Handset Battery
• Indicated only by the battery symbol on handset display flashing empty.
NOTE: Once the units have been put on charge, both LED and battery symbol will
stop flashing.
Safety Precautions
WARNING: Exhaust gases are poisonous and contain carbon monoxide,
which can cause unconsciousness and can be fatal - NEVER start or leave
the test vehicle engine running in an unventilated area.
WARNING: DO NOT handle the OmiScan Gas exhaust probe tip, or place
the exhaust probe on plastic or combustible surfaces after the test
procedure. The probe may become extremely hot during the test and could
cause burns and a risk of fire.
Electrical Safety Precautions
WARNING: Any power or extension cord must have a ground conductor.
WARNING: When replacing fuses make sure the correct type and rating
are used.
WARNING: Any adjustment, maintenance or repair must be carried out by
an approved service engineer.
