8 - CHARGING THE BATTERIES

CAUTION!
The SWIFTPET PRO may be charged only with the original charger. The mains voltage must
conform with the specification on the charger.
Using other chargers than the original one may damage the battery.
The pipette controller is delivered with 3 NiMH type AAA batteries.
The batteries can be replaced easily if necessary after the battery cover is taken off (fig. 1K).
The manner in which the batteries are arranged is shown in fig. 8.
Charging:
1. Charging temperature: 10 °C to 35 °C.
2. Charging the battery is carried out through a charger (power supply) by direct connection
to the mains, or indirectly by means of a charging stand (fig. 1M). Batteries charging is indi-
cated by successive lighting of "bars".
3. Full charging time: 7-8 hours.
4. The batteries are charged when all 3 "bars" are displayed simultaneously (fig. 5.1).
When the batteries are charged, the charging circuit disconnects automatically.
The service life of the batteries: approx. 1000 charging cycles, if used correctly.
It is not possible to overcharge the batteries if all instructions of the manufacturer are followed.
WARNING!
If disposable batteries are used, it is unacceptable to connect the device to the charger.
In order to prolong the life span of the rechargeable batteries, the following rules should be
followed:
1. Before the pipette controller is activated for the first time, the batteries should be charged.
2. Avoid short charging cycles – disconnect the stand from power supply during work
when charging is not needed.
3. If the pipette controller starts to indicate low battery level during work, connect it to the
power supply to continue working.
4. Do not leave the pipette controller discharged for a long period of time.
5. In case of a planned longer break in the work of the device, it is recommended to take
the batteries out from the battery compartment.
