SETTING THE TIME AND DATE
Navigate to the time or date field and depress the OK button. Move the cursor to the
appropriate digit and increment by moving up or down. The time display can be set
to a.m./p.m. or 24 hour mode. Setting the time field to 24 hour mode causes the date
field to display in the format DD/MM/YY.
POWERING THE ACCUPOINT ADVANCED HC SYSTEM
The AccuPoint Advanced HC reader can only be operated from its battery power. The
USB power capability has been disabled to protect the integrity of the electrical circuit.
While the reader will appear to power on when the A/C power is connected, it can only
operate in charging mode. No readings can take place when the reader is charging.
RECHARGING THE BATTERIES
The AccuPoint Advanced HC reader is supplied with 4 AA rechargeable nickel metal-
hydride (NiMH) batteries, which typically provide up to 16 hours of continuous
operation before requiring recharging. For optimal battery life, the reader should be
operated in temperatures of 10–35°C, and the batteries should only be recharged
when the battery charge icon appears near depletion.
The AccuPoint Advanced HC reader can only be recharged through the supplied A/C
power adapter. Full charge takes approximately 90 minutes. After inserting the A/C
power cord, the reader will display a green battery with the appropriate charge state.
This icon will change and fill in completely as the batteries become fully charged. The
icon will change to black and the reader will power off when the charge is complete.
The battery charge icon indicates the charge state of the reader:
The rechargeable NiMH batteries supplied by Neogen have a normal lifetime of
approximately 1,000 recharging cycles, and are the only batteries warranted for use
in the reader.
NOTES:
For best results, use only rechargeable
batteries supplied by Neogen. A warning symbol is
placed on the AccuPoint Advanced near the battery
holder to identify hazards of recharging alkaline
batteries. DO NOT use alkaline batteries and attempt
to charge them. Attempting to charge standard
alkaline batteries may damage the instrument.
The reader’s data readings, and marginal and fail
limits, will remain stored even when the batteries
have discharged.
