Charge the Battery Pack
Before using the gas detector for the first time, you will need to charge the
battery pack in order for the unit to function correctly .
CauTiOn: To prevent equipment damage,
• Charge the battery pack only in temperatures between 32°F and 104°F
(0°C and 40°C). Charging outside this temperature range may cause
permanent damage to the battery pack.
• Use only the AC adapter that is included with the TIF8800X to charge the
battery pack. if a replacement adapter is needed, refer
to the
Replacement Parts
section of this manual.
Setup
1. Place the power switch in the OFF / CHARGE
position . See Figure 2 .
2 . Plug the AC adapter (included with the TIF8800X) into
an appropriate wall outlet, and connect the charger
jack to the charge input on the tool.
See Figure 3 .
During the charge cycle, the yellow LED (CHARGE) is
illuminated . Once charging is complete, the green
LED (READY) will also illuminate.
Notes:
• Leaving the AC adapter connected to the tool after
charging will not damage the tool. However, the tool
will not operate until the AC adapter has been
disconnected.
• The battery pack is shipped pre-charged but its
condition upon arrival to the user is unknown due to
parasitic drainage that occurs during storage and
shipment. An initial charge cycle is recommended to
achieve full performance of the tool. This initial charge
will take 2-6 hours depending on the actual condition
of the battery pack. Subsequent charges (applied after
the red low-battery LED illuminates) will take
approximately 15 hours.
• New battery packs need to be conditioned before
they’re capable of optimum performance. To condition
a new battery pack: charge it fully, then operate the
tool as normal until the low battery LED illuminates.
Repeat this procedure a minimum of 3 to 5 times.
