Note: the increased battery capacity has no effect on QED detecting performance and will not harm
the QED in any way
The extender pack has two connectors:
•
one to connect the pack to the QED,
•
the other used for charging the batteries using the charger originally supplied with the
QED.
When the extender pack is connected to the QED and the battery charger connected, all six
batteries will be charged at the same time.
Note: Note that the battery charger will operate in the same way, with 2 lights illuminating red whilst
charging
Note: Charging 6 batteries will take longer to charge than just charging the existing 2 batteries.
The extender pack has been designed to be physically attached to the left hand side of the
detector control box as per the photographs using the supplied Velcro.
It is advised to fit the extender pack to the QED and leave it attached, connected and
charged via the charging port on the extender pack. This is for one very important reason:
•
It ensures that the 6 batteries always remain at the same state of charge with respect to each other.
This is ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.
Warning:
1. NEVER connect an extender pack with an unknown battery state of charge to the QED. In this
scenario, separately charge the extender pack and the QED batteries. Once all batteries are fully
charged, then connect the extender pack to the QED.
2. Removing batteries from their respective battery holders may over time physically damage the
batteries/and or the battery holder terminals. As it is absolutely essential to not damage Li-Po batteries,
especially the plastic covering around the terminals at each end, do not remove the batteries once fitted
unless absolutely necessary.
Never charge Lithium Ion batteries unattended.
