Chapter 2 Hardware
Battery
The Luminex comes with one main rechargeable battery and an AC adapter/charger. You can operate
your writing machine on battery power or using the AC adapter/charger with the main battery charging.
Although you can use the Luminex with the AC adapter/charger, Stenograph recommends that you
fully charge the battery before first time use.
The main battery, fully charged, operates all the features on the Luminex for approximately 12 hours.
The charging time for the main battery is approximately 5 - 6 hours.
The main battery provides a FailSafe mode if the charged level of the main battery becomes too low
and you are not using the AC adapter/charger or do not have your micro USB cable plugged into a
powered computer. In FailSafe mode, the tilting screen, Bluetooth and WiFi communication turn Off.
Your steno notes and audio continue to be written to the Data and Backup SD cards and, if you are
writing realtime via a USB connection, steno notes are sent to the realtime screen. Steno notes also
continue to be stored in memory. FailSafe mode may last up to 3 hours. The Luminex retains the date,
time and user settings during FailSafe mode. Charging the Battery when the Luminex is powered by
the AC adapter/charger maintains the main battery level. The batteries fully charge in 5 - 6 hours. You
can use your writing machine while the AC adapter/charger charges the battery. The Luminex battery
fully charged operates all features for approximately 12 hours and then will go into FailSafe mode
which may last up to 3 hours.
Charging the Battery
When the Luminex is powered by the AC adapter/charger, the main battery level is maintained. The
batteries fully charge in 5 - 6 hours. You can use your writing machine while the AC adapter/charger
charges the battery. The Luminex battery fully charged operates all features for approximately 12
hours and then will go into FailSafe mode which may last up to 3 hours.
The Luminex battery only charges when needed. Once the batteries are charged, it is not necessary
to keep the writing machine plugged into the AC adapter/charger, however, keeping the writing
machine plugged in does not damage the battery. If you are connected via the micro USB cable to a
computer that is powered On, the Luminex battery can be charged. If you are not going to use your
Luminex for an extended period of time, Stenograph recommends keeping the Luminex plugged into
the AC adapter/charger. If the Luminex is not in use for a long period of time while disconnected from
the AC adapter/charger, it is important to fully charge the battery before use and to check the date and
time setting on the writer.
Use only the AC adapter/charger supplied with your Luminex. The Diamante® AC adapter/charger will
charge the Luminex if your Luminex AC adapter/charger is not available. All other chargers designed
for other Stenograph writing machines do not power the Luminex. Although previous Stenograph
writing machine AC adapter/charger may fit the Luminex, they will not charge the Luminex battery.
