HOW TO RECHARGE THE DIPSTICK
®
BATTERY PACK
WARNING! NEVER ATTEMPT TO RECHARGE ALKALINE, "RECHARGEABLE ALKALINE"
OR CONVENTIONAL BATTERIES IN THE DIPSTICK®. THEY MAY EXPLODE AND
SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE DIPSTICK
®
MAY RESULT WHICH WILL NOT BE COVERED
UNDER WARRANTY.
Charge the Dipstick by using the Dipstick AC adapter
provided in the case. This is the one that has the same
“Face” label that matches the “Face” label on the Dipstick.
The recharge port is on the underside of the Dipstick
®
.
Turn off the Dipstick unit by flipping the on/off switch
down. The Dipstick will not charge if it is turned “on”.
Turn the Dipstick over and plug the Dipstick AC
adapter supplied with the kit into the recharge port,
then plug the AC adapter into a wall outlet. (The AC
adapter works with any voltage from 100V 50 Hz to
240V 60 Hz) You may need to use a plug adapter.
Verify that the unit is charging. If the Dipstick is charging, the light next to the recharge port
will light up. If the light does not come on, you may have used the wrong AC adapter. Do
not attempt to use the 2277 Tablet computer's AC adapter to charge the Dipstick. You can
tell which AC adapter belongs to which device by matching the “FACE” logo on the AC
Adapter to the “FACE” logo on the Dipstick.
The Dipstick will fully recharge overnight. Be sure to leave the Dipstick turned off and
plugged in overnight. A full recharge will yield 13.2 or more volts of battery power. The
Dipstick Low Bat light will engage at 10.7 volts and the Dipstick will shut down
automatically at 10.5 volts.
USING OTHER TYPES OF BATTERIES WITH YOUR DIPSTICK
®
If you forget to charge your Dipstick and still need to
gather data, you may use 1.5 volt (AA size) alkaline
batteries. Never mix alkaline and Ni-Cad batteries in the
battery pack and never try to recharge the alkaline
batteries.
If you place alkaline or other conventional batteries in
the Dipstick, put a piece of tape over the charging port to
remind you not to plug in the charger while conventional
batteries are in the Dipstick.
