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. Even if you buy a laser that uses Ni-Cd batteries,
you can upgrade to Ni-MH batteries. The upgrade installation, however, must
be performed by an authorized service center.
Alkaline batteries can also be used as a backup; however, rechargeable
batteries should be reinstalled in the laser as soon as possible.
To let you know when the batteries are getting low, the status LED flashes.
When the status LED flashes yellow, the laser has less than one hour of
running time. When the status LED remains on solid yellow, the batteries
have less than five minutes running time.
After shipment, the batteries may not have enough power to operate the
system. Be sure to recharge the batteries before use. The intelligent recharger
maximizes battery life and reduces the time before battery replacement by
precisely controlling the recharging/discharging cycle and by not
overcharging the batteries. The maximum time to achieve a full charge is six
hours.
Recharging the Batteries
Note: Do not recharge alkaline batteries. Trying to recharge them does not
damage the laser but the batteries do not recharge.
1. Plug the 4-socket plug into the laser and tighten the retaining collar.
2. Plug the supplied grounded electrical power cord into the battery-
recharger.
3. Plug the grounded electrical power cord into an appropriate outlet.
Note: The recharging status is indicated on the recharger.
