Charging the internal battery

Although the Syrius can be charged using the cigarette lighter in your

vehicle, a complete charge is more easily achieved by using the 240V

AC mains charger included. When new, the battery in your Syrius is

approximately 20% charged.

To charge the unit fully, move the ‘Batt. ON/OFF’ switch to the ‘OFF’

position and connect the 240V AC mains charger as indicated in the

picture on the right. The battery light on the Syrius will illuminate and

will take approximately 3 hours to charge. When the internal battery

is fully charged, the red LED will turn blue. Once fully charged the

battery will last approximately 3 hrs during normal use.

Note: The new battery’s full performance is only achieved after two or

three complete charges and discharges.

Powering the Syrius using the built-in battery

Once Syrius is fully charged, it is ready for use. Move the ‘Batt. ON/OFF’ switch to the ‘ON’

position and press and hold the standby/power switch on the left hand side of the unit for 2

seconds to switch on the device.

Low Battery Warning

If the Syrius is powered from the internal battery and the

‘Battery Low – Please Recharge’ warning is displayed on

the screen, the unit has approximately 20 to 30 minutes

of battery power remaining. You should either connect the

cigarette lighter adaptor lead to the unit whilst in the vehicle

or recharge the battery from the mains adapter supplied.

WARNING: PLEASE DO NOT USE OR LEAVE THE SYRIUS IN EITHER WET OR HUMID CONDITIONS, OR IN

EXTREME TEMPERATURES, AS THIS COULD PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE UNIT AND THE BATTERY. WHEN

NOT IN USE DO NOT LEAVE THE UNIT ATTACHED TO THE WINDSCREEN, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE WEATHER

IS WARM, TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE UNIT AND ALSO REDUCE THE RISK OF THEFT.

CAUTION: THERE IS A RISK OF EXPLOSION IF THE BATTERY IS REPLACED WITH AN UNAPPROVED TYPE.

USING THE WRONG TYPE OF BATTERY MAY DAMAGE YOUR UNIT AND INVALIDATE YOUR WARRANTY.

ONLY SNOOPER AUTHORISED PERSONNEL SHOULD REPLACE THE BATTERY. PLEASE DISPOSE OF

USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO LOCAL WASTE MANAGEMENT RULES AND REGULATIONS. FURTHER

INFORMATION CAN BE FOUND LATER IN THIS USER MANUAL.
