3. Getting Started
3.1 Introduction
The Railmaster™ is a stationary radar that allows you to track the
speed of targets approaching, receding, or moving in both directions
simultaneously .
3.2 Battery Charging
The Railmaster™ is designed to operate off of six (6) rechargeable
Nickel-Metal-Hydride batteries (or off the DC power cord) . When
you first receive your radar, the batteries will need to be charged for
the first time before using . Once batteries have been charged if you
do not use the Railmaster™ for 3-4 weeks, you will want to recharge
the batteries before use in order to get the full run time . To charge
batteries for the first time or to replace the batteries following steps
3 .6 to 3 .7 .
3.3 Removing the Battery Holder
The battery holder is located inside the handle of the Railmaster™
and is accessed by means of a sliding door . When first received,
the holder should already have batteries installed, but if not then
you will need to remove the holder and loaded it with batteries . To
remove the battery holder slide the battery cover to the right until
the battery holder is released as shown in Figure 3 .3 . The door can be
completely removed from the slide .
