BATTERIES - The Syclone requires manufacturers’ supplied lithium batteries.
While rechargeable batteries are shipped fully charged, they will self-discharge with time
when not in use. It is important to condition new batteries, whether received with the system
or purchased separately. Conditioning is achieved by first totally discharging the batteries in
the SYCLONE unit and then fully charging them for at least 4 hours.
Note: To get reliable performance and full capacity out of the batteries throughout their life, it
is important to let them fully discharge and then fully re-charge for 4 hours at least
once every two months. This will assure that the batteries provide up to 12 hrs(typical
9 hours) of operation.
i) BATTERY-CHARGER – the battery charger is an integral part of the unit and requires the
supplied power supply, which plugs into a normal wall receptacle using house current.
j) CHECK SOURCE – The Syclone uses a 0.25 µCi Cs-137 check source, which will stabilize

stabilization, and follow the screen messages.
