Quick Start Guide
Charging The Instrument
Always fully charge the battery before use. In safe
settings, use the AC Charge input with the included
power adapter. Align the connector and plug and
then press in and turn the ring until it clicks.
Make sure the charger is firmly attached. Then
connect the AC Adapter's plug to the charger, and
plug its transformer into an AC outlet. For intrinsically
safe charging via a SolarPak or Hazardous Area
Charger, connect to the IS Charge input. While
charging, the "battery" icon along the top of the
screen is animated. When the battery is fully
charged, the icon shows a full battery and does not
animate. (Consult the User's Guide for more details
on charging.)
Turning The Instrument On/Off
With the instrument off, press and hold the button
through the countdown until the audible alarm stops,
and then release. During startup, it tests the battery,
buzzer, vibration alarm, LEDs, and internal functions.
Then the main reading screen is then shown.
Note: During a pumped BW RigRat's startup, startup
pauses and the display instructs you to place your
finger over the pump inlet to test the pump.
Turning The Instrument Off
Press and hold the button for the 3-second
countdown to shutoff When the countdown ends,
release your finger from the button. The instrument is
now off.
