Battery Charging
Before you can use your instrument, you will need to charge its battery. Your instrument’s
battery pack provides approximately 8 to 10 hours of power during continuous operation.
The instrument comes with a AC to DC Power Adapter & Battery Charger which can be used to
charge the battery in approximately 3 hours or to trickle charge the battery while the instrument
is in use.
Plug the power adapter & battery charger into the DC charge port of the Seeker D Lite Source
Transmitter on the left side of the instrument under a protective cover.
Your instrument is equipped with a “smart” battery charging circuit so that the charging method
(fast or trickle) is an auto function. Fast Charge is used to charge the battery quickly. Trickle
Charge is used to keep the battery fully charged.
Every time your instrument is plugged into the charging cube, it starts charging automatically
via the Trickle Charge method. If the unit determines Fast Charge is necessary, it defaults to
the Fast Charge method.

The
Battery Charge Indicator
LED is located on the front panel of the Seeker D Lite
Source Transmitter. This LED indicators represent the status of the internal battery and its
charging status.
The LED will illuminate when the Seeker D Lite Source Transmitter is connected to the

• A solid Green LED is displayed when the batteries is fully charged.
• A solid Red LED is displayed when the batteries is charging.
