Place the battery pack on top of the SP330 or SP350 body and push
firmly to slide it on. Make sure that the front edge of the battery fits
under the lip near the keypad. Once the battery pack is fully seated and
the screw holes are lined up, fasten it in place using the two battery
screws provided.
Note : When installing any of the NiMH battery packs for the first time,
you should charge the battery before using the SP330 or SP350
to ensure proper operation. See “
Using the Power Supply ” later
in this chapter or the Maintenance chapter for charging
information.
Installing the AA Battery Pack
Note : Alkaline battery cells are included with the AA battery pack. TSI
recommends AA-size alkaline batteries for best performance.
The power supply may be used to power the SP330 or SP350
while the AA battery pack is attached to the pump body. The
SP330 or SP350 will sense the presence of the AA battery pack
and automatically disable the charging function.
AA-size rechargeable batteries may be used in the AA battery
pack; however, they cannot be recharged by the S
IDE
P
AK
™
Personal Sampling Pump charging system. An external charger
will be needed. Instrument run-time with size-AA rechargeable
cells may be unacceptably short.
The AA battery pack opens into two pieces.
Install six AA-size battery cells. Make sure the cells are installed in the
proper direction by matching the polarity markings on the cell holder
with the markings on the battery cells.
