Charging the Unit
The nickel metal hydride battery technology used in the JETT•RFID has exceptional charge life without
the “charge memory” characteristic of conventional nickel cadmium batteries. Partially discharged bat-
teries or extended periods with the charger left connected will not adversely affect battery life or per-
formance.
Note: Because the internal battery charger senses several conditions, including temperature, you should
charge the unit away from any known or potential heat sources. Units exposed to temperatures in excess
of 110 degrees Fahrenheit during the charge cycle may experience incomplete charging and reduced
operating time per charge.
To charge a battery-powered JETT•RFID:
1.
Plug the power supply connector into the corresponding connector on the bottom of the
JETT•RFID. Plug the power supply transformer into a power outlet. See
Figure A-1
.
2.
The Charge LED should turn on, indicating that the batteries are charging. While the
JETT•RFID is charging, you can still use it.
3.
Once the battery is fully charged (approximately three hours), you can disconnect the AC
power supply and run the JETT•RFID exclusively on battery power.
Changing Batteries
To change batteries:
1.
With the unit face down, pull the battery cover retaining clip up from its recessed slot and turn
the clip in a counter clockwise motion.
2.
Lift the cover up and remove the batteries.
3.
If the unit contains a battery pack, use the tab on the battery pack to lift up and then out.
