In the switched-on condition, the battery symbol is always visible on the display and indicates the still
available amount of energy. The operating period can amount to up to approx. 3000 hours dependent on
the power supply source and the programmed operating mode. When the energy source is completely
exhausted, the empty battery symbol blinks continuously and simultaneously a regular clicking sound is
audible. In this condition, an operating time of at least 24 hours is still available. By pushing the confirma-
tion key, the battery alarm is switched off, the empty battery symbol, however, continues to blink.

partment and in doing so pay attention to the correct polarity.
