6. Battery condition
The charge condition of the battery can be verified before or during the
resistance measurement. In order to achieve that, the operator has to
press the battery button while the equipment is turned on. The bargraph
shows remaining charge as a percentile value.
If during measurement the charge of the battery achieves a critical level,
the display will show the BAT message notifying that the charge level is
low. After a few minutes the measurement will be automatically
interrupted in order to preserve the battery from a deep discharge that is
prejudicial for its expected useful life.
