Battery Charging
The Proton XQ30 thermal imager comes with an APS 5 rechargeable Lithium-ion battery.
APS 5 batteries support USB Power Delivery fast charging technology when using a standard
charging set (charger, USB Type-C cable, power adapter). Before first use, make sure the
battery is fully charged.
?

Option 1
1. Install the APS 5 battery (4) in the battery compartment (5) of the device.
2. Connect the USB cable (22) to the USB Type-C connector (9) of the device.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable (22) to the Power Adapter (23).
4. Plug the Power Adapter (23) into a 100-240 V socket (24).
Option 2
1. Insert the APS 5 battery (4) along the guide into the APS 5 charger* (19) slot as far as it
will go.
2. Connect the plug of the USB Type-C cable(22) to the USB Type-C connector of the
Power Adapter(21).

3. Plug the Power Adapter (23) into a 100-240 V socket(24).
4. Connect the other end of the USB Type-C cable (22) to the USB Type-C connector(21)
of the charger.
5. LED indicators (20) will display the battery charge level (see Table).
Note:Two* batteries can be charged at the same time.

* Sold separately.
** Standby mode is when the batteries are in the charger but the Power Adapter is not
connected. In this mode, the indicators are only on for 10 seconds.
Attention! When using a Power Adapter that does not support USB Power Delivery fast

charging technology, the flicker frequency of the LED indicators decreases by a factor of 3 and
the charge time increases.
Attention! The charger heats up during fast charging. Excess heat is removed through the
radiator and does not affect the device operation.

Battery Installation
1. Put the Lock-cover (3) on the rechargeable APS 5 battery (4).
2. Insert the APS 5 battery (4) along the guide into the battery compartment (5).
3. Lock the battery (4) by turning the Lock-cover (3) clockwise until it stops.
4. Turn the Lock-cover (3) counter-clockwise to remove the battery (4).

Precautions
Always use the APS 5 charger supplied with the device (or purchased separately) to
charge APS 5 batteries. Using an unsuitable charger can cause irreparable damage to
the battery and fire.
Do not charge the battery immediately after bringing it from cold to warm. Wait at least 30
minutes for the battery to warm up.
Do not leave the battery unattended while charging.
Do not use the charger if it has been modified or damaged.
Do not leave the battery in a charger connected to the mains after charging is complete.
Do not expose the battery to high temperatures or naked flames.
Do not use the battery as a power source for devices that do not support APS 5 batteries.
Do not disassemble or deform the battery or charger.
Do not drop or strike the battery or charger.
The battery and charger must not be immersed in water.
Keep the battery out of the reach of children.

Recommendations for Use
The batteries should be partially charged (50 to 80 %) for long-term storage.
The battery is to be charged at an ambient temperature of 0 °C to +35 °C or the lifespan
of the battery will decrease significantly.
When using the battery at sub-zero ambient temperatures, the battery capacity
decreases. This is normal and not a defect.
Do not use the battery at temperatures outside the range of -25°C to +50 °C or it may
reduce battery life.
The battery is short circuit protected. However, any situation that may cause short-
circuiting should be avoided.

External Power Supply
☐
Show device diagram
External power can be supplied from an external source, such as a Power Bank (5 V).
1. Connect the external power source to the USB Type-C connector(9) on the device.
2. The device will switch to draw power from the external source while the ?PS5 battery will
be gradually recharged.
3. A battery icon will appear on the display showing the percentage charge level.
4. An icon will be displayed when the device is powered by an external power source
and the ?PS5 battery is not connected.
5. The device automatically switches to the APS 5 battery when the external power supply
is disconnected.

Attention!Charging APS 5 batteries from an external source at temperatures below 0°C can
reduce battery life. When using external power, connect the Power Bank to the device only
after it has been turned on and working for at least several minutes.
