5. Battery Charging
Always fully charge the battery before using the MicroRAE. Its Li-ion battery is charged by
placing the MicroRAE in its Travel Charger (P/N: M03-3005-000) or Charging Cradle. Contacts
on the bottom of the instrument meet the Travel Charger’s or Charging Cradle’s contact pins,
transferring power.
Note:
Before attaching the MicroRAE to a charger, visually inspect the contacts to make sure
they are clean. If they are not, wipe them with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use solvents or cleaners.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous atmospheres, recharge, remove or replace the
battery only in an area known to be non-hazardous
!
Next, put the plug from the power supply (P/N: 500-0036-102) into the jack on the side of the
Travel Charger.
Plug the other end of the charger into a power source (AC outlet or mobile power port in a
vehicle, depending on the model). When power is applied and the MicroRAE’s battery is
charging, the LED glows red. The LED glows green when the battery is fully charged.
Note:
For mobile charging, only use Automotive Charging Adapter (P/N 003-3004-000) from
RAE Systems.
To remove the MicroRAE from the Travel Charger, squeeze the latches on the sides of the Travel
Charger and pull it away from the instrument.
Align the Travel Charger with the middle of the MicroRAE and press it
until it is firmly attached.
