Charge the Battery
The Sidepak should have been sent to you with its battery already charged. However, you should
make sure it has been charged by plugging in a wall outlet. When the battery is charged the LED
display will read CHARGING COMPLETE. It may take a number of hours to fully charge a
depleted battery. If there seem to be problems charging the battery please contact Dr. Klepeis.
While being operated for days at a time in your home, the Sidepak should be kept plugged into
household current for most of the time. However, for times when the Sidepak is being moved
around your home to “sniff” for elevated air pollution levels, it will be more convenient to have it
run on battery power
