To conserve the lifetime of the batteries, a charge is only carried out in a
temperature range of 5 to 35 °C. When this temperature range is left, the
charging process is automatically interrupted and automatically continued
after the temperature range has been reached again. The charging time
is typically 4 hours. A new NiMH power pack reaches its full capacity after
three complete charge/discharge cycles. Never store the instrument for
extended periods without being connected to a power source (maximum
of 2 months) because the internal buffer battery will drain.
