Charging the Battery Pack
Four, AA nickel-metal hydride batteries fastened in a
removable battery pack power the instrument. The battery pack
must remain in the instrument at all times for proper operation.
Before initial “remote” use of the instrument, charge the battery
pack for approximately three hours. However, if immediate use
is required, the instrument can be operated “tethered” to the AC
adapter after a short period of battery charging.
NOTE: Only use the AC Adapter supplied or the optional battery
charger (X-Rite P/N 500CHG) to charge the battery pack. A "Low
Battery" message appears on the display when the battery falls
below approximately 25% of full charge. Measurements are still
possible, but the battery should be charged soon. A "Charge Battery"
message appears when not enough battery power remains to take a
measurement. The battery must be charged immediately.
To attach the AC adapter:
1.
Verify that the voltage indicated on the adapter complies
with the AC line voltage in your area. If not, contact
X-Rite or an authorized representative.
2.
Insert the small plug from the adapter into the power-
input connector on the instrument. (If you are using Serial
Cable SE108-92, you can plug the small plug into the
power connector at the end of the cable.)
3.
Plug the detachable line cord into the adapter.
4.
Plug the line cord into an AC wall receptacle.
