Battery Life Indicator (FIGURE 2-1)

• The battery condition icon continuously displays in the upper
portion of the screen, regardless of the selected page.
• As the battery charge dissipates, segments of the battery icon go
blank until only the outline of the battery icon remains.

Battery Warning

• A Battery Warning indicates that a nominal 15 minutes of operation
remain before instrument batteries are completely depleted.
NOTE: Duration of remaining instrument operation during Battery
Warning depends on ambient temperatures.
• When the Solaris Multigas Detector goes into Battery Warning:
• Battery Life indicator flashes
• "BATT WRN" flashes every 15 seconds
• Alarm sounds
• Lights flash every 15 seconds
• The Solaris Multigas Detector continues to operate until the
instrument is turned OFF or battery shutdown occurs.

Battery Shutdown

When the batteries can no longer operate the instrument, the instrument
goes into Battery Shutdown mode:
• LOW and BATTERY flash on the display
• Alarm sounds and lights flash
• Alarm can be silenced by pressing the RESET button
• No other pages can be viewed
• After approximately one minute, the instrument automatically
turns OFF.
When Battery Shutdown condition sounds, stop using the
instrument; it can no longer alert you of potential hazards
since it does not have enough power to operate properly:
1. Leave the area immediately.
2. Turn OFF the instrument if it is ON.
3. Report to the person responsible for maintenance
4. Recharge the battery or replace the batteries.
