USING THE HEADLAMPS
•
There are two orange headlamps.
•
These are special headlamps because they can be charged just like a cell phone.
•
First, make sure to place the USB adapter into the appliance socket and turn on the
Red Appliance switch.
•
To charge the headlamp, insert the micro-USB plug into the hole under rubber stopper
on the headlamp and the USB plug into the USB adapter in the appliance socket.
•
When the headlamp is charging, the headlamp LED will be blinking green. When the
headlamp is fully charged, the LED light on the headlamp will be solid green.
•
To turn on headlamp: push the button on top.
[Show how to turn on the headlamps.]
•
Adjust the beam of the light like this.
[Show how to adjust where the light beam directs
by swiveling the headlamps. Also, show the different light settings and how to hold
down the button and dim the lights to conserve energy and make the batteries last
longer]

[
Have students practice

Appliances -
USING THE AA/AAA BATTERY CHARGER.
•
AA/AAA battery charger will charge RECHARGABLE AA and AAA batteries.
➢
RECHARGABLE AA batteries are included in the Solar Suitcase for the fetal
Doppler.
➢
The charger CANNOT be used with single-use batteries. If you place single-use
batteries into the battery charger, the charger will break.
➢
Only use the rechargeable batteries provided with the Solar Suitcase in your
AA/AAA battery charger, or other batteries that are rechargeable.
➢
Charge the batteries in “families”, meaning they get charged and discharged
together.
➢
These batteries will power your fetal Doppler and other small devices.
•
How to charge: place the positive side of the batteries in the positive side of the
charger.
•
Mark the positive side of the charger with a + sign.
•
We included AA rechargeable batteries. The small white tab on the battery charger
needs to be in the upright position to accommodate the AA batteries.
•
[
Have volunteers demonstrate how to put in batteries in front of whole class.]
•
During the daytime, you CAN charge a phone and the rechargeable battery at the
same time.
•
If you run out of rechargeable batteries, the fetal Doppler can use single-use batteries.
However, you cannot re-charge the single-
use batteries in the Battery Charger. DON’T
PUT SINGLE-USE BATTERIES IN BATTERY CHARGER.
•
ONLY RECHARGE BATTERIES ON SUNNY DAYS WHEN THE MAIN SOLAR
SUITCASE BATTERY IS FULL!!!!!!
