4. Plug the charger line adapter into a 100 VAC to 240 VAC supply and plug the other end
into the charging clean box.
The
Charging
light is on while the teaching wafer is charging. If the
Charging
light does
not turn on, make sure the lid of the box is closed completely and the charging pins in the
charging clean box are making electrical contact with the teaching wafer.
When you first start charging the wafer, it turns on. After about 10 minutes, if TeachView
and TeachTarget aren’t running, the wafer will turn off and continue to charge.
5. Charge the teaching wafer until the
Charging Done
light turns on or until you need to
use the teaching wafer (you don’t need to wait until the teaching wafer is fully charged).
Fully charging the battery takes about two hours. Charging for one hour charges the
battery to about 80% of its capacity. You can leave the teaching wafer in the charging case
when not in use; the battery won’t overcharge.
Monitoring the Wireless Connection to the
Teaching Wafer
The TeachView application communicates with the teaching wafer by using a Bluetooth
wireless link. The wireless link has a range of up to 30 ft (10 m).
The
Connection
indicator in the
ATS wafer status
area of the TeachView window shows the
quality of the wireless connection between the teaching wafer and the link module. The
connection quality is indicated by the color of the bar and the wording below the bar (see
•
Green - Connected.
The connection between the link and teaching wafer is good.
With a good connection, the teaching wafer is sending the maximum number of
readings per second to the link module (about one reading every two to three
seconds).
•
Yellow - Poor connection.
There is some interference or other problem with the
signal that is preventing the link and teaching wafer from communicating at their
maximum rate. When the indicator is yellow, the readings are still accurate but aren’t
being updated as frequently.
