„ BATTERY/AC OPERATION

The colorimeter may be operated on battery power using a USB wall adapter or USB
computer connection. If using the meter as a bench top unit, use the wall adapter if
possible to extend the battery life. The meter will remain on when the USB adapter
is used.
To charge the battery with the wall adapter, plug the smaller end of the USB cable
(USB mini B connector) into the meter and the larger end of the USB cable (USB
type A connector) into the wall adapter. Plug the wall adapter into an AC outlet.
Reinsert the rubber USB port plug after charging. To charge the battery from a
computer, plug the smaller end of the USB cable (USB mini B connector) into the
meter and the larger end of the USB cable (USB Type A connector) into a USB port
on a computer.
The battery icon will show no bars and flash when the unit first turns on. Then the
indicator will indicate the battery status by showing 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 bars.
It will take 6 hours to fully charge a low battery. The battery icon will flash when the
battery is charging. The battery icon will show four bars and stop flashing when it is
fully charged. The charging circuit will automatically switch to a float charge when
the battery is fully charged. The charger may remain connected. Some computers
will NOT supply power to their USB ports during standby operation. The wall adapter
will charge the unit continuously.
Storing the meter above ambient room temperature will decrease the battery
charge more quickly than storage at room temperature. If the meter does not
turn on, it means that the battery is at a very low charge. Charging the battery
with the wall adapter in this state may take up to 10 hours. At low temperatures,
approaching 0 °C, the battery will charge more slowly. It will not charge at all below 0
°C. The battery icon will show no bars and continuously flash if the battery is getting
low but the unit will still operate normally. A "Low Battery" message on the status
bar of the display will replace the time when the battery voltage is too low for proper
operation and accuracy may be degraded. A "Shutdown Low Batt" message on the
display will appear for a few seconds before the power is switched off when the
battery is too low to operate the unit. When the battery icon simultaneously flashes
bars 1 and 2 followed by bars 3 and 4, it is an indication that the battery is damaged
and technical support should be contacted.
To extend the battery life:
• Shut down the unit with the power switch when not taking measurements
or use the power save option to have the unit automatically turn off after 5
minutes.
• Store the unit at a moderate temperature.
• Fully charge the battery before storing the unit for extended periods of time.
• Fully charge the battery at least once per year. Failure to do so may result in
a permanently drained battery.
• Limit backlight use. The unit consumes 3X normal power with the backlight
on. Set the backlight time option to 10 seconds, or select "Button Control"
and keep the backlight off.

„ BATTERY REPLACEMENT

The lithium ion battery used in this unit should last for many years with normal use.
When it no longer powers the unit long enough to meet testing requirements it will
need to be replaced. Lithium ion batteries that are properly charged and stored do
not usually lose all capacity; they just have less capacity after hundreds of charge
cycles. This unit uses a custom battery assembly that is only available from LaMotte
