4. GETTING STARTED
4.1 Charging the batteries
When you first receive your Metalyser
®
kit, it is advised to fully charge the
batteries. There are two batteries requiring charge: the tablet PC battery and
the Instrument battery.
To charge the tablet PC, open the rubber cover on the top left hand side of
the tablet and insert the power cord into the round DC socket, then fit the
plug to a mains outlet. A full charge of the tablet PC should give 6 hours of
run-time. A vehicle charging kit is available as an optional extra for the
tablet PC.
The handheld instrument can be charged using the supplied USB cable and
the chargers provided in the kit. Connect to the device as shown below,
then connect to the chosen charging system (mains/12V). If a computer is
used, the software drivers may need to be installed to perform a fast
charge. Refer to section below on driver installation.
