Storing the instrument is only recommended if the NiCad battery is fully charged. If the instrument has to be stored for a prolonged time (approx. 2 weeks or longer) it is recommended to leave the instrument connected to the charger. The same applies to
If the instrument is operated at temperatures exceeding the admissible temperature range, if the NiCad battery is older, or if incomplete charging cycles (charging/discharging) are performed, it is possible that the display no longer corresponds to the current status of the battery.
In this case the display is corrected as follows: discharge the battery by switching on until the instrument switches off automatically. After that, connect the instrument to the associated charger and wait until the end of the charging period (max. 4 hours). When the charging process is completed, the PEM9002 switches off automatically.
