Charging the Battery
The HandiLaz is shipped with its batteries 60-80% charged. Before first use,
fully charge the battery pack by connecting the HandiLaz to the provided AC to
DC converter for two hours.
Alternatively, full charge may be achieved using the optional external charger
for a period of one hour. See “Battery Charger and Spare Battery Pack Option”
on page 5-4.
The battery pack charge status is shown on the battery status indicator, when the
instrument is powered up. See “Battery Charge Indicator” on page 4-2.
If the HandiLaz will be stored for longer than one month, it is recommended that
the battery pack be discharged by running the HandiLaz on battery power alone
until it stops. This will improve the life of the battery pack.
NOTE: NiMH batteries produce full rated power until the end of their charge
cycle. This can cause the battery charge indicator to indicate that the charge is
higher than it actually is. If the charge indicator shows that the battery is low,
recharge the battery as soon as possible.
WARNING:
• The main disconnect is the detachable power cord, which shall be
easily accessible when installed.
• Ensure that the power cord is connected to a properly grounded
outlet.
• All batteries must be disposed of in accordance with local
regulations.
