6 Power Options
There are 3 options for powering the QUESTemp: a 9-volt alkaline battery, a NiMH
(Nickel Metal Hydride) rechargeable 6-cell battery pack, and an AC adapter. A door
on the back of the unit allows the user access to the 9-volt battery. The rechargeable
battery pack is located inside of the unit. If the rechargeable battery pack ever needs
to be replaced, it can be accessed by removing the screws from the bottom panel of
the unit.
The 2-position switch located in the battery compartment
must be set by the user if the power supply method is
changed. The up position is for the 9 volt battery. The
down position allows for either the AC adapter or the
rechargeable batteries. The AC adapter will trickle
charge the rechargeable batteries if they are in place or
it will simply allow for line power operation of the unit.
9-V Alkaline Battery Replacement
WARNING: Replace batteries only in a non-hazardous
environment.
The 9-volt battery should be replaced or the NiMH battery pack should be
recharged when the voltage drops below 6.4 volts. The battery voltage is
displayed when the instrument is turned on. While turned on, the battery voltage
can be displayed at any time by pressing the up or down arrow keys to move
through the display until the battery voltage screen appears. If, while operating,
the battery voltage drops below 6.4 volts, the display will automatically switch to
the display showing the battery voltage along with a low battery message. After
a low battery occurs, the unit will continue to operate for approximately 8 hours.
When the battery voltage falls to 6.2 volts or below, the unit will automatically turn
off.
Replace only with an approved 9-volt alkaline battery.
