BATTERY CHARGING

The

GAS•TRAC

LZ-30

has an internal, rechargeable lithium-ion battery pack,

and includes a recharging base. This battery is not user replaceable.

To recharge the internal battery, ensure that the charging base is plugged in
and insert the instrument into the base, bottom first. Contacts on the bottom
of the instrument touch spring loaded pins in the bottom of the charging base
to make an electrical connection.

The LED on the front of the charging base indicates the charging status:

Solid Green & Red flicker: No connection
Solid Red:

Instrument charging

Solid Green:

Instrument fully charged

Charging takes approximately 3 to 4 hours if the battery is fully depleted.
