Battery Test & Battery Regeneration
This device contains a built-in Li-Po (Lithium polymer) battery that can be recharged many times.
The battery contains chemicals that might wear with time even if not used. Please dispose of
batteries properly.
Do not take the battery pack apart or expose it to extreme temperatures (over 50°C). If the device
has been exposed to very low or high temperatures, let it rest at room temperature before use.
The Battery must be recharged at room temperature (about 20°C) with the device turned off. To
avoid premature failure of the battery never leave the device with an empty battery for prolonged
periods.

220 BBLY
FIG. 2*F IG . 1* FIG. 3*
IMPORTANT ADVICE:
• Do not connect any type of load to the “F” input connector (LNB, TV head-end, amplifiers, etc.).
2. The battery test takes approx. 12 hours (charging/discharging/recharging activities and
measurement of the battery autonomy), during this time the meter must not be used. At the end of
the test the meter will turn off automatically. In order to make sure that the test has been carried
out correctly, all the meter’s commands are blocked except for the reset function, which remains
active so that the meter can be turned off if necessary.
3. The batteries will be completely charged at the end of the test.
4. To check the battery test results, enter “METER SETUP” (fig. 2), select “BATTERY TEST” function
and read the results: for example 220BBLY (fig. 3) = 220 minutes. The “Y” of YES confirms that the
battery is still good enough, whereas an “N” for NO indicates that it could be faulty, too deteriorated
or that the cycle was interrupted.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
If the test is interrupted using “reset”, the battery charge indicator may provide incorrect indications,
therefore repeat the battery test procedure.

IMPORTANT:
• ALWAYS TURN THE INSTRUMENT OFF BEFORE CONNECTING THE BATTERY CHARGER;
• DO NOT LEAVE THE BATTERIES DISCHARGED FOR LONG PERIODS;
• ALWAYS CHARGE THE BATTERIES AT NIGHT FOR AT LEAST 7 HOURS, EVEN IF THEY ARE
NOT COMPLETELY DISCHARGED.
USEFUL INFORMATION:
1. The batteries supplied are high quality and tested individually, their autonomy depends on the
following conditions:
– the external temperature: with temperatures of less than 10°C, 20% of the capacity is lost;
– the age of the batteries: a 10% loss in effi ciency each year;
– Remember that the TIMER OFF function, that automatically turns off the Meter after
5 o 10 minutes of inactivity, saves up to 30%.
2. The battery indicator has a tolerance (like all battery powered electronic devices) according to
the following factors:
- the battery’s charging percentage;
- external temperatures;
- battery wear and tear;
• +/– 2 %
