Charging time
When turning o the power: Take about 5 hours for full charge.
When turning on the power: Take several hours for full charge.
→ Change the charging type from the system menu.
Charge the battery under the condition of 5 °C to 40 °C. If the temperature is below 5, it
cannot charge the battery.

Replace the Battery
If the analyzer can no longer drive by the battery, or the service time after
charging becomes extremely short, replace the battery.
Remove the battery cover and replace the battery.
Battery is necessary for saving data in the storage (USB ash drive etc)when having the
power shortage. Insert the battery all the time.
Warning ＜Notice for battery ＞
* Do not short the terminal of the battery.
* Use the battery and battery charger specied by LINEEYE.
* Do not disassemble or modify the battery.

and the number of times and the
presence/absence of an error are
checked and displayed.
ڧ BUFFER Mode [LE-3500XR Only]
From the send/receive data stored
in the memory by the monitor
function, it transmits the data of
