Changing the Batteries
The AirLite is powered by three standard AA alkaline batteries
located in a compartment on the bottom of the pump (Figure 1, #1).
To change the batteries, use a slotted screwdriver to loosen the
screw on the bottom of the case (Figure 1, #2). Open and remove
the compartment door. Remove the existing batteries and
replace with new batteries
(see battery polarity below)
. Once the
new batteries are in place, insert the hinge (Figure 1, #3) on the
compartment door under the lip of the case, close the door, and
tighten the screw until secure.
Important:
Note the polarity of the batteries.
Note:
For maximum run time, insert new batteries in pump before sam-
pling. If using rechargeable AA 1.2-volt NiMH batteries, expect
approximately half the run time stated for disposable batteries.
Note:
To prevent corrosion of battery terminals, remove batteries when
AirLite will not be used for an extended time.
