Assembling and charging the network hubs
The network hubs contain rechargable batteries. Hub batteries are
already charged when shipped, but you should charge them overnight
before using them in your class. When the hubs are fully charged, they
will function all day under continuous use. You should recharge them
each night.
The network charging bay can hold from one to four hubs. After you
place the hubs in the charging bay, they are charged simultaneously until
all are fully charged. If the batteries are fully discharged, it may take up
to 12 hours to fully charge the batteries.
With four network hubs in the charging bay, you should charge them for
12 hours. Typically this is done overnight or over a weekend. When the
hubs are fully charged in the bay, the LED shows solid green.
Note:
You cannot damage the batteries by leaving them in the charging
bay beyond the time needed to fully charge them. Also, it is not
necessary to fully discharge the batteries before recharging them.
1.
Make sure you have enough (3–4) power outlets for the equipment
you received. If necessary, obtain a plug strip so that you have plenty
of grounded outlets.
2.
Insert the small end of the AC9940 power adapter cord into the
charging bay’s power jack.
3.
Plug the other end of the adapter into a power outlet.
4.
Attach a network connector to each hub. Press firmly to make a
good connection.
5.
Insert each hub into the charging bay. You can insert them only one
way.
