Maximizing Battery Life
One of the factors that affects battery life is the storage
temperature. Therefore, avoid storing the Smart Cart in
very cold or very hot environments.
Troubleshooting
If the Battery Status LED blinks red, use the micro USB
cable to connect the Smart Cart to a USB port or a USB
charger.
If the Smart Cart battery will not charge, it may need to
be replaced. Contact Technical Support for information
about battery replacement.
Suggested Experiments
Practically any experiment that has a force, acceleration,
linear motion, or rotational motion measurement can be
done with the ME-1240 or ME-1241 Smart Cart. See the
PASCO Web site at
www.pasco.com/products/lab-manuals
for more information about experiments.
Calibrating the Sensors
The Smart Cart is factory calibrated. Further calibration
is not necessary, especially if you are measuring a
change in force, acceleration, or motion rather than
absolute values. However, it is possible to calibrate the
sensors. For detailed information, see Appendix C.
Specifications
