1.3 Battery Charging
> THE UNIT SHOULD BE CHARGED BEFORE USE. The unit can be operated while the
batteries are being charged. Before using make sure the voltage indicated on the AC
adaptor complies with the AC line voltage in your area. If not contact your X-Rite dealer.
> The unit should be fully charged in 14 hours. Note: If your unit has not been used for
several weeks recharge for approximately 24 hours.
> Charging the batteries for less than 14 hours will reduce the operating time of the unit.
> The best method to obtain the maximum battery life is to:
- Always run the unit down to the point where the "BATTERIES LOW" message is
displayed. Then charge the unit before the next message "CHARGE BATTERIES" is
displayed.
- Leaving the unit plugged into the AC wall outlet for extended periods of time (over 48
hours) may shorten the battery life.
- If you are going to store the unit for an extended period of time (over 6 months) you
should remove the Ni-Cad batteries from the unit.
1. Plug the small connector end of the adaptor into back of unit.
2. Plug the adaptor into AC wall outlet.
1.4 Applying Power
During battery operation power is applied automatically when a measurement is
taken or if a key is pressed. It automatically shuts off (within 45 seconds) if no keys
are pressed or no further measurements are taken. The unit will not automatically
shut off if the AC adaptor is connected.
> This unit retains calibration, reference values, and all other data when the unit turns off
after 45 seconds of non-use (in battery operation), or if the Ni-Cad batteries are
discharged.
