Recharging the Lithium-Ion Battery Pack
4. Turn off the power to the AreaRAE Steel.
5. Connect the AC adapter (or the optional automotive
charging adapter) to the charger connection port on the
AreaRAE Steel monitor.
6. A red “charge” LED located on the front of the instrument
indicates that the battery is being charged. A completely
drained AreaRAE Steel is typically fully charged within 10
hours.
Removing or Replacing the Alkaline Battery Adapter
5. Before removing or replacing the battery pack, please
make sure the AreaRAE Steel monitor is located in a non-
hazardous area and is not connected to the charger.
6. To remove the battery pack, unscrew the four screws that secure
the plate over the battery compartment. Remove the cover plate
and lift the battery pack out of the AreaRAE Steel.
7. Remove and replace drained alkaline batteries. Use only
DURACELL MN1400 or ENERGIZER E93 C size batteries
with the alkaline battery pack. Be sure to match the battery
polarity as indicated by the diagram inside the battery holder.
8. Reattach the battery pack to monitor, set it inside the
AreaRAE Steel, and replace the cover plate.
NOTE:
The internal charging circuit automatically detects the
alkaline battery adapter and does not draw charge from the
battery adapter.
