During the long-term storage of the device, the battery may be too low due to the self-discharge of the lithium battery and the device cannot be turned on. This is a normal phenomenon.

Please use the attached adapter to pre-charge the device for 0.5 to 1 hour (depending on the storage time) before turning it on. In addition, if the device is not used for a long time, it is recommended to charge it at regular intervals to avoid over-discharge of the lithium battery.

Battery Charging

The lithium battery may not be fully charged when delivered. To make the battery be charged, this device has an approximate charging time of 8 hours and a peak discharge battery life of about 18.5 hours. The power supply and battery indicator symbols in the upper right corner of the screen are explained as follows:

Owon 600A - Battery Charging - 1

symbol indicates the power-on charging status;

Owon 600A - Battery Charging - 2

symbol indicates battery power supply;

Owon 600A - Battery Charging - 3

symbol indicates that there is only about five minutes of use time left.

Please charge as soon as possible according to the relevant tips to avoid damage to the battery.

Charging Method

Connect the digital clamp meter to a computer or other equipment through a USB data cable for charging (pay attention to the load capacity of the power supply equipment to avoid abnormal operation of the equipment).

Note

To avoid overheating of the battery during charging, the ambient temperature must not exceed the allowable value given in the technical specifications.
