Charging
As a guide
to
battery
condition
a Battery Check
facility
is
provided.
To
check the batteries switch on
the
detector
at
the
ON/OFF
Tune Switch
(Q)
and
tune
the
detector
by
turning
this
control
clockwise,
with
the
Memory
Retune Buttons (vi)
or
(vii) depressed. Once
the
detector
is
set
at
the central Tune
position
release
the
Retune
Button
and then depress the
Battery
Check tv) switch.
If
the needle
on
the meter swings
into
the bold
red
sector the batteries are in good
condition.
Should the needle
not
reach
this sector
of
the meter and retain its level, the batteries need replacing.
When rechargeable batteries are checked the meter needle
will
not
reach
full
scale,
but
will
maintain
the
same
Y3
scale reading
for
the
life
of
the
charge. Standard HP7s
will
discharge gradually, reading
full
scale when new and at
the
lower
end
of
the
bold
red
sector when discharged
to
6 volts.
Sometimes
faulty
batteries
will
initially
give a good battery check,
but
will
quickly
discharge
after
a
half-hour
or
so
of
use.
When battery voltage falls
below
the necessary level,
symptoms
will
be: erratic signal, meter signal
latching on
full,
signal
drift
etc.
Always
check and replace batteries
if
these symptoms occur.
Rechargeable Battery Charging
It
is
not
necessary
to
remove
the
recha1"geable
packs
for
recharging. A recharge socket (U)
is
provided
so
that
the batteries can be recharged in the detector.
Normal HP7s cannot
of
course
be
recharged.
