RIDGID SR-60 manual Operation Time, Low Battery Warning, Starting Up

SeekTech SR-60

• Frequency / Left Key – Used to set the In-Use Frequency of the SR-60 from the set of Checked-Active frequencies. Each short press cycles to the next Checked-Active frequency. (The list of frequencies that have been set to Checked-Active status can be modified via the Menu Key.)

A long press on the Frequency Key will display a scrollable list of all currently active frequencies to choose from, by highlighting and pressing Select again.

This indicates that the batteries need to be changed and that the unit will soon shut down. A tone will sound at ten-minute intervals.

•Light Sensor – In Automatic mode, the light sensor controls when the backlight goes on or off depending on ambient light. Placing a thumb over the light sensor will force the backlight on.

Operation Time

Using alkaline cells, typical operation time is from about 12 to 24 hours depending on sound volume and how often the backlight is on. Other factors that affect the operation time will include chemistry of the battery (many of the new high performance batteries, such as the “Duracell® ULTRA” last 10%-20% longer than conventional alkaline cells under high demand applications). Operation at lower temperatures will also reduce battery life.

The SR-60 display can also show random symbols when the battery power is too low to drive the internal logic circuits correctly. This is remedied by simply putting fresh batteries into the unit.

To preserve battery life, the SR-60 will automatically shut down after 1 hour of no key presses. Simply power the unit on to resume use.

Low Battery Warning

When the battery gets low, a battery icon will periodically appear in the map area on the screen.

Just before complete shut down there will be a non- interruptible power down sequence. An extended buzz will sound when the SR-60 is about to go into shutdown sequence.

Note: Voltage on rechargeable batteries may sometimes drop so quickly that the unit will just shut down. The unit will power down and restart. Just replace the batteries and power the unit back on.

Starting Up

After pressing the Power Key on the keypad, the RIDGID logo displays, and the software version number will appear in the lower right corner of the screen.
