> Improper use of rechargeable batteries can lead to destruction
or injuries by means of current surges, fire or escaping
chemicals. The following instructions must be observed to avoid
such hazards:
• Only use in accordance with the directions in the instruction
manual.
• Do not short, take apart or modify.
• Do not expose to heavy impacts, water, fire or temperatures
above 60 °C.
• Do not store in the proximity of metal objects.
• Do not use leaky or damaged rechargeable batteries. In the
event of contact with battery acid: Thoroughly wash affected
area with water and consult a doctor, if necessary.
• Only charge in the instrument or the recommended charging
station.
• Immediately stop the charging process if this is not
completed in the given time.
• In the event of improper function or signs of overheating,
immediately remove the rechargeable battery from the
measuring instrument/charging station. Caution:
Rechargeable battery may be hot!

The testo 310 is a handheld measuring instrument for the
professional flue gas analysis of combustion plants:
• Small combustion plants (oil, gas, wood, coal)
• Low-temperature and condensing boilers
• Gas water heaters
These systems can be adjusted using the testo 310 and checked
for compliance with the applicable limit values.
The following tasks can also be carried out using the testo 310:
• Regulating the O2, CO and CO2 values in combustion plants
for the purpose of ensuring optimal operation.
• Draught measurement.
• Measuring and regulating the gas flow pressure in gas water
heaters.
• Ambient CO measurement.
The testo 310 must not be used:
• as a safety (alarm) device

5.1. Mains unit / rechargeable battery
The rechargeable battery is permanently installed and can
only be changed by a Testo service centre.
The measuring instrument is supplied with a partially
charged rechargeable battery.
> Charge the rechargeable battery fully before using the
measuring instrument.
5.1.1. Charging the rechargeable battery
The rechargeable battery can only be charged at an ambient
temperature of ±0 to +35°C. If the battery has been discharged
completely, the charging time at room temperature is approx.
5-6 hrs.
Charging in the measuring instrument
1. Connect the plug of the mains unit to the mains unit socket on
the measuring instrument.
2. Connect the mains plug of the mains unit to a mains socket.
- The charging process will start. The charge status will be shown
on the display. The charging process will stop automatically
when the battery is fully charged.
Battery care
> Do not fully exhaust the rechargeable battery.
> Only store instrument with battery charged and at low
temperatures, but not below 0°C (best storage conditions with a
charge level of 50-75% = 2 segments, at an ambient
temperature of 10-20°C, recharge completely before use).
> The rechargeable battery life depends on the storage, operating
and ambient conditions. The available useful life of the
rechargeable battery reduces more and more with frequent use.
If the useful life is significantly shortened, the rechargeable
battery should be replaced.
