Charging The Battery
Always fully charge the battery before using the instrument. The
instrument’s Li-ion battery is charged by placing the instrument in its
cradle. Contacts on the bottom of the instrument meet the cradle’s
contacts, transferring power without other connections.
Note:
Before setting the instrument into its charging cradle, visually
inspect the contacts to make sure they are clean. If they are not, wipe
them with a soft cloth. Do not use solvents or cleaners.
Follow this procedure to charge the instrument:
1. Plug the AC/DC adapter’s barrel connector into the
instrument’s cradle.
2. Plug the AC/DC adapter into the wall outlet.
3. Place the instrument into the cradle, press down, and lean it
back. It locks in place and the LED in the cradle glows.
Note:
To release the instrument, press down and tilt the top out
of the cradle and lift up.
The instrument begins charging automatically. The LED on the front
of the cradle marked “Primary” blinks during charging. During
charging, the diagonal lines in the battery icon on the instrument’s
display are animated and you see the message “Charging...”
When the instrument’s battery is fully charged, the battery icon is no
longer animated and shows a full battery. The message “Fully
charged!” is shown and the Primary LED on the cradle glows
continuously green.
