Once activated, the M762 and M767 series fuzes have a _____ day service life before the battery runs down and the LCD goes blank.

Fuzes powered by batteries have a finite service life after activation because the battery powers all electronics and the LCD display. For the M762 and M767 series, that window is fifteen days. After that period the battery runs down and the LCD goes blank, meaning the fuze is no longer reliable. This timing matters in the field, so use and maintenance must stay within that period, or the units must be replaced or re-tested. The other options would imply battery life that isn’t supported by the design: longer than the actual power budget, too short for practical use, or unrealistically long for a compact, fielded fuze.
