Open the Stick Reader by unscrewing the end of the red handle anti-clockwise. Using
the loop, pull out the battery holder and insert the batteries into the holder ensuring
that the positive and negative markings (+ / -) on the batteries match up with the
(+ / -) on the holder. Replace the holder with the green arrow and green circle facing
the same way as the green button on the reader. Ensure that the battery pack is
aligned with the grooves inside the stick reader. Replace the end of the reader
screwing the cap on clockwise.
The stick reader should operate for at least 8 hours on a fully charged set of batteries.
For the first several hours the battery indicator will show ‘Good’. When the battery
indicator first shows ‘Low’ you should still have one or two hours of use left, but
should plan to recharge or replace the batteries soon. When the battery indicator
shows ‘Empty’ the batteries should be recharged or replaced immediately.
