The optional NiMH rechargeable battery
kit is an environmentally friendly and
economical alternative to alkaline batter-
ies. NiMH batteries can be charged up to
500 times under optimum conditions and
contain no hazardous materials.
To use the NiMH batteries, install a set
into the laser and charge them fully prior
to initial use (12 hours). DO NOT PLUG
THE CHARGER INTO THE LASER
UNLESS NIMH RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES ARE INSTALLED! It is rec-
ommended that new NiMH batteries be conditioned by charging them fully,
and running them until fully discharged for two or three cycles. After that, the
batteries may be charged before they are fully discharged without running into
“memory” problems. A fully charged set of NiMH batteries should provide
about 65 hours of run time.
Note: Do Not Charge Alkaline or Carbon batteries.
To do so could cause
them to rupture and damage your instrument.
If the laser is to be run while connected to the charger, the rechargeable
NiMH batteries must be installed. The laser may not function properly if it is
run off the charger when the NiMH batteries are not installed. The laser
should never be run off the charger when alkaline or carbon batteries are
installed.
Use only factory prescribed charger with NiMH batteries. Use of non author-
ized chargers may result in damage to batteries or laser electronics.
