Battery Charging - ThermoFisher Scientific GLD PRO Manuel D'utilisation

2.0 Battery charging

The leak detector should be fully charged prior to use. Only use the AC adaptor
provided. To charge the battery, first install the correct plug for your country's AC outlets
onto the provided AC adaptor. Insert the AC adaptor into an electrical outlet, and then
insert the barrel plug on the other end of the AC adaptor into the connector on the
bottom of the leak detector unit. The green battery charge indicator LED will illuminate.
When the battery is fully charged, the green battery charge indicator LED will go out.
When the leak detector's charge is low, the BLUE LED located between the red and
yellow LEDs will begin to flash.
If unit is off, the BLUE LED may flash when the power button is depressed. If the battery
is fully discharged, no LED will illuminate.
NOTE: If the battery is fully discharged, no LED will illuminate.
CAUTION: For the health of the battery, it is not recommended to continuously operate
the leak detector when it is plugged in and charging. However, if your battery has been
allowed to fully discharge and will no longer hold a charge, the unit can be operated while
plugged in receiving charge directly from the power supply. To operate the leak detector
while it is plugged in, follow the instructions for regular operation, and when the blue LED
illuminates steady or flashing the unit is ready to use.
CAUTION: The leak detector contains a nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) battery. Like other
battery-operated devices, if the battery is left for long periods of time without being
charged, it can discharge to a point where the battery cannot accept a charge. We
recommend that you charge the battery at least once every 3 months. If your leak
detector is used often for routine maintenance, as recommended, more frequent
charging may be necessary.
CAUTION: Replacement of the rechargeable battery in this unit is performed at the
factory. There are no serviceable parts inside this unit. Opening the case or tampering
with the internal parts will void the factory warranty.
NOTE: Recharging a low battery can take approximately 6 hours.
NOTE: The leak detector may get warm to the touch during charging, but this is normal
and not a safety concern.
