How to Use the Laser System
Powering the laser
Batteries
Depending on the laser system configuration that you purchase, the laser is shipped with
either rechargeable nickel-cadmium (Ni-Cd) or nickel/metal-hydride (Ni-MH) batteries.
Temperature affects battery-charging time. For the best results, charge the batteries when
the ambient temperature is in the range from 10 °C to 40 °C (50 °F to 104 °F). Charging
at a higher temperature may damage the batteries. Charging at a lower temperature may
increase the charge time and decrease the charge capacity, resulting in loss of
performance and shortened battery-life expectancy.
Even if you buy a laser that uses Ni-Cd batteries, you can upgrade to Ni-MH batteries.
Alkaline batteries can also be used as a backup; however, rechargeable batteries should
be reinstalled in the laser as soon as possible.
