BATTERY/AC OPERATION
The colorimeter may be operated on battery power using a USB wall adapter or
USB computer connection. If using the meter as a bench top unit, use the wall
adapter if possible to extend the battery life. The meter will remain on when the
USB adapter is used.
To charge the lithium ion battery with the wall adapter, plug the smaller end of
the USB cable (USB mini B connector) into the meter and the larger end of the
USB cable (USB type A connector) into the wall adapter. Plug the wall adapter
into an AC outlet. Reinsert the rubber USB port plug after charging. Failure to
insert the USB port plug when the meter is not connected to a computer by USB
or actively charging by USB could result in damage to internal components.
To charge the battery from a computer, plug the smaller end of the USB cable
(USB mini B connector) into the meter and the larger end of the USB cable
(USB Type A connector) into a USB port on a computer. Reinsert the USB port
plug after charging. Failure to insert the USB port plug when the meter is not
connected to a computer by USB or actively charging by USB could result in
damage to internal components.
The battery icon will show no bars and flash when the unit first turns on. Then
the indicator will indicate the battery status by showing 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 bars. It
will take 6 hours to fully charge a low battery. The battery icon will flash when
the battery is charging. The battery icon will show four bars and stop flashing
when it is fully charged. The charging circuit will automatically switch to a float
charge when the battery is fully charged. The charger may remain connected.
Some computers will NOT supply power to their USB ports during standby
operation. The wall adapter will charge the unit continuously. Storing the meter
above ambient room temperature will decrease the battery charge more quickly
than storage at room temperature. If the meter does not turn on, it means that
the battery is at a very low charge. Charging the battery with the wall adapter in
this state may take up to 10 hours. At low temperatures, approaching 0 °C, the
battery will charge more slowly. It will not charge at all below 0 °C.
