3. Getting Started
3.1 Introduction
The JUGS Gun™stationary radar gives you the option to track objects
approaching or receding. Features such as Recall allow you to select and
review up to 5 previous events. Fast/Last adds additional exibility by
allowing you to set The JUGS Gun™to display either the fastest speed
measured and/or the last speed measured. Other features are selectable
through the menu option.
3.2 Battery Charging
The JUGS Gun™is designed to operate o of six (6) rechargeable Nickel-
Metal-Hydride batteries (or o the optional DC power cord). When you
rst receive your radar, the batteries will need to be charged for the rst
time before using. Once batteries have been charged if you do not use the
JUGS Gun™for 3-4 weeks, you will want to recharge the batteries before
use in order to get the full run time. To charge batteries for the rst time or
to replace the batteries follow steps 3.6 to 3.7.
3.3 Removing the Battery Holder
The battery holder is located inside the handle of The JUGS Gun™and is
accessed by means of a sliding door. When rst received the holder should
already have batteries installed, if not then you will need to remove the
holder and load it with batteries. To remove the battery holder slide the
battery cover to the right until the battery holder is released as shown in
Figure 3.3. The door can be completely removed from the slide.

3.4 Battery Installation
Insert the batteries into the battery holder following the polarity guide
that is on the inside of the battery holder (Figure 3.4a). When properly
loaded the battery holder will look like the example in Figure 3.4b.
!CAUTION Note that the negative side of each battery goes to the
spring contacts of the battery holder .
3.5 Inserting the Holder into The JUGS Gun™
The battery holder is designed so that it can only make contact with the
power connections inside the gun if the holder is slid into the gun in the
correct way. If you look closely at the holder you will see that there is a
positive and negative terminal on it. These need to be inserted into the gun
with the terminals located at the top as shown in the picture below.

Once the batteries have been properly loaded into the holder and the
holder has been inserted into the handle of the gun then the door can be
put back in place and slid closed.
!CAUTION If the holder has been placed incorrectly into the handle
the door can not be put back in place and closed .
3.6 Charging the Batteries
The JUGS Gun™comes with a charger and cord. When you receive your
JUGS Gun™, charge the batteries until fully charged.
!CAUTION You must only use rechargeable batteries.
3.7 Charge Status Indicator (LED)
The status of the charge can be determined by the Charge Status Indicator
LED located on the bottom of the handle (See gure 3 .7). The table below
denes the status.
• Fast blinking green light = checking battery condition
• Medium blinking green light = charging battery
• Solid green light = charged
• Solid red light = charging error
The normal charging sequence is fast blink for 60 seconds, medium blink
until batteries are fully charged (approximately 1 hours for fully discharged
batteries) and solid green once batteries are charged. The gun can be left
to charge indenitely. The charging circuit will automatically shut o once
charging is complete.

!CAUTION Best performance from your batteries is obtained when
recharged at temperature between 50oF (10oC) and 113oF
(45oC). Recharging outside of that temperature range may
result in reduced battery life or incomplete charging.
