Power Supply

For details regarding charging refer to Multicharger User Manual.

Batteries

Environmental conditions

The batteries must be charged before using them for the first time charging batteries because they are delivered with an energy content as low as possible. For optimal charging, we recommend charging the batteries at a low ambient temperature of +10 °C to +20 °C/+50 °F to +68 °F if possible.

Exchanging the Batteries

Note

The batteries are hot-swappable. Data acquisition requires two batteries inserted into the battery compartment. The scanner does not shut down when only one battery is inserted

Figure 7 Exchanging the batteries.

To exchange the batteries, follow the steps:

1. Open the battery compartment.

2. Remove the left battery from the battery compartment by pushing the upper red button to the right. Remove the right battery from the battery compartment by pushing the lower red button to the left.

3. Insert the new batteries into the battery compartment.

   Note

   Ensure that the battery contacts are facing inwards.

4. Close the battery compartment.he bottom of the tripod legs to uncover spikes for usage on a soft ground. Do not use the spikes on slippery ground.

5. Turn on the scanner to start the boot process.
