Charging the Battery
The Nickel-Hydrogen is fully charged in about 2.5 hours by the AC adapter.
Please charge the battery before using the product.
* The "BT" LED blinks in green when charging, and lights in green when completing the
charge.
* The analyzer can perform the battery drive for about 6.5 ～8 hours with the full charge.
[Note]
Do not use the AC adapter or battery excepting the one LINEEYE designated.
If you are not going to use the analyzer for a long term, ll up the battery before putting back.
After that, try to charge the battery every 6 months.
If the service time after charging becomes extremely short, the battery must be replaced with a new
one. (Battery model: P-19S)
* Even though the service time becomes short within the warranty period, you need to
purchase the new one because batteries are considered as consumable part.
Lithium Battery
The data of memory IC and timer IC is saved for about 10 years by built-in Lithium battery
even if the power supply is OFF.
Turn on the Power, Software Reset
Turn on the power of analyzer (Press left side
button.)
The opening screen with rmware version will be
displayed after the self-check test.
* If "Self-check NG" is displayed, please contact LINEEYE distributors or LINEEYE directly.
* The latest rmware is available from LINEEYE web page.
Software Reset
To restore the initial conditions (factory setting) into the analyzer, turn on the power while
pressing [Enter]+[Top/Del] keys. [Initialized!] will be displayed in the opening screen.
Calibration
Enable to have a diagnostics by the analyzer itself.
* After the calibration, it will go back to the initial conditions and capture memory will be
erased.
Preparation Remove all cables from the analyzer and insert a USB ash or an optional SD
card to the memory card. (if you have one)
Operation Turn on the power while pressing [1]+[D]. Press all keys one by one when the key
marks are displayed. "--OK--" will be displayed if the result is ne. Turn off
the power of analyzer.
* If "NG" is displayed, please contact LINEEYE distributors or LINEEYE directly.
