SETTING UP
ScoopFone IP can be operated under an ambient temperature of 0°
to 45° C (32°F to 113°F).
Powering
Before switching on the ScoopFone IP, you need to have 6 AA
batteries inserted in the bottom compartment, or an external DC
power supply connected via the DC jack.
Batteries
ScoopFone IP works with either disposable or NiMH batteries. Six
2500 mA.h NiMH batteries provide power for more than 7 hours of
transmission.
In order to get an accurate charge level indication with rechargeable
batteries, it is necessary, at least once, to leave the ScoopFone IP on
with the external DC power until it is fully charged.
CAUTION : THERE IS RISK OF EXPLOSION IF THE
BATTERIES ARE OF A WRONG TYPE, OR ARE
INSERTED THE WRONG WAY.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO
INSTRUCTIONS.
External power supply
(indoor use)
The external DC supply is also used to charge the batteries. Only
NiMH batteries are supported by the internal charger. You can use
the provided power adapter (GS25B12 or GST25B12), or another
adequate DC power source. ScoopFone IP runs from a nominal 12 V,
but it can run with a voltage from 10 to 16 V, with a maximum
consumption of 1 A.
IMPORTANT: DO NOT CONNECT AN EXTERNAL DC
SOURCE WHEN DISPOSABLE BATTERIES ARE INSIDE
THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT
