GPZ7000 Battery
The GPZ 7000 is supplied with a rechargeable Lithium-
Ion (Li-Ion) smart battery. This battery pack is supplied
partially charged and should be charged for up to eight
hours to maximise your first use. The detector will operate
for a minimum of eight hours using the Li-Ion battery
pack.
NOTE
The battery pack should be recharged
whenever the detector has not been used for
a long period of time.
The battery icon displayed on the Control Panel Status
Bar (page 18) indicates the present charge level, and
provides advance warning of the need to recharge or
replace the battery. The battery charge level is displayed
in five segments, which will gradually decrease during
operation relative to the charge remaining in the battery.
When the last segment disappears, the battery icon will
turn red and begin to flash, and a low battery warning
will be displayed. When the battery is completely flat, the
detector will display a message and turn itself off.
NOTE
The detector regulates the battery voltage
so that its performance remains constant
regardless of the charge remaining in the
batteries.
