Original Pokitmeter battery life

So I use my Pokitmeter fairly infrequently and find that every time I pull it out of it's pouch that the battery is dead. Can the firmware be set to only use battery and/or broadcast bluetooth when the probes are extended from the device?

This time around I've decided to just pull the battery out between each use.

Cheers,

Mike

  Hi Mike O'Sullivan,

  When a battery is inside the Pokit Meter unit, the Pokit Meter remains in an idle mode so that is ready to pair. This only uses a very small amount of battery, but can drain it over time. It is best to do as you have done and remove the battery between uses so that you aren't burning through too many batteries.
