Personal equipment WaveMon
10.2 Charging
To charge the
WaveMon
battery, connect the
WaveMon
cable to a USB charger or a computer.
A full charge takes approximately 4 to 5 hours.
The charge takes place in two stages:
• Charge: the
WaveMon
shows the level
indicators in blue while the batteries are
charging.
• End of charge: the
WaveMon
shows the level
indicator in green.
Note:
We recommend making a full charge at least
once a month to extend the useful life of the batteries.
Note 2:
When connected to a computer, the
WaveMon
cannot be running the program and charging at
the same time. The procedure is as follows: when
it is connected to a computer, the
WaveMon
waits
for 3 minutes before going to charge mode, in case
the user wishes to connect the
WaveMon
to the
computer program and download measurements.
After 3 minutes without detecting the PC program,
the
WaveMon
switches to battery charge mode. If the
device is in charge mode and you wish to connect the
WaveMon
to the computer program, you will need to
disconnect it and then reconnect the USB to have the
program recognise it.

BATTERIES
10.1
Use
The
WaveMon
uses 2 rechargeable AA Ni-Mh
batteries. When it is switched on, the device
indicates the battery charge level: blinking white
means the batteries are charged, blinking red
means the batteries need to be recharged.
If you do not have enough time to recharge the
batteries or if they are defective, they can easily
be replaced by removing the two screws at the
bottom of the device. You will need a cross-head
screwdriver for this.
We recommend replacing the batteries every
2 or 3 years to ensure that the device will work
properly.
Important: Alkaline batteries may be used in
the event of a problem with the rechargeable
batteries, but they can only be used temporarily
until new rechargeable batteries are available. If
you use alkaline batteries, make sure that you do
not put the
WaveMon
in charge mode, to avoid
possible damage to the batteries and to the
device.
