AIM 2 Operation Manual
Battery Charging
You can charge the AIM’s battery from a power outlet using the AC power adapter provided
with the meter. After the initial charge, you also can charge the AIM in your vehicle while
the vehicle is running using the vehicle power adapter. The AIM can be charged while it is
powered off or while it is powered on, which allows you to use the AIM while it is charging.
The battery icon in the top right of the AIM display indicates the power level of the battery.
To prevent the AIM from shutting down during an installation, recharge the battery before the
battery icon shows only one remaining bar of power. If the battery icon flashes, the battery
should be immediately recharged to prevent shut down. Allowing the AIM to shut down due to
low battery does not harm the battery or the meter. However, the meter should not be left with
a depleted battery for an extended period (such as weeks or months of storage).
You should fully charge the AIM’s battery before you use it for the first time.
1. Plug the AC power adapter into a power outlet, or with your vehicle running, plug the
vehicle power adapter into a 12 VDC socket (such as a cigarette lighter socket).
2. Plug the other end of the power adapter into the AIM’s power input connector.
The charging process begins. A plug icon appears at the top of the display and the bars
in the battery icon sequentially flash to show that the meter is charging. (If the meter is
off, a battery icon appears on the display.)
3. When the charging process is complete, the display shows a filled battery icon.
Unplug the power adapter from the AIM’s charging connector. Then unplug the other
end from the power outlet or 12 VDC socket.
To protect the battery pack, the meter does not allow battery
charging when ambient temperatures are above 113°F (45°C)
or below 32°F (0°C).
Use only the AC power adapter or vehicle power adapter
provided with the meter to charge the meter battery.
For maximum battery performance, the battery must be
fully charged prior to its first use. To maintain battery level
accuracy, it is recommended to perform monthly deep battery
discharges by allowing the battery charge to fully deplete until
the meter powers off, then fully recharging the battery.
