7 Charging
The battery can be charged in the charging dock, powered by a standard outlet. It can also be
connected in the carry case for in-car charging.
A fully discharged battery should be fully
charged within 5.5 hours. While in a good
condition, the battery run time will be 5
hours (assuming 50% idle time between
scans).
Scanner will enter low power mode when
idle.
The Li-ion cells used in the battery pack
do not suffer from the ‘Memory effect’. For
optimal battery longevity, avoid letting the
battery run completely down and recharge at
approximately 20 Celsius/68 Fahrenheit.
Electrical connection to the power pack is through the gold pads on battery and scanner. Power
pack output is protected but care should be taken to prevent short circuiting the gold connector
pins and pads.
Warning:
To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons
an appliance should never be left unattended when plugged into
mains or 12V cigarette lighter.

8 Care & maintenance
8.1 Easi-Scan: Go & battery
Please note the following important points:
• The unit is not sealed against jets of water. Water will penetrate your scanner if it is hosed
down or rinsed under a fast flowing tap.
• The unit is NOT corrosion proof and thus it should not be left wet.Take care to detach the
external battery and ensure interconnect areas are dry also.
• The battery charger and charging carry case are not waterproof – avoid getting them wet.
8.2 Easi-Scan: Go probe
While every attempt has been made to make the probe as rugged as possible the crystal array
remains vulnerable and should be protected from knocks. The probe has a protective sheath
covering the length of cable subject to wear and flexing. Any damage to this sheath or the rest
of the cable should be repaired before further use to prevent moisture ingress that will rapidly
damage the probe. The probe should be checked regularly for such damage.
Gels
Use only gels recommended by BCF Technology Ltd. Do not store the probe in gel.
Cleaning
The probe may be cleaned by removing all residue and disinfecting using an IPA wipe.
Storage
Clean and dry the probe head prior to storage in dry location. Do not store the transducer in gels
or cleaning/disinfecting solutions. This will lead to premature deterioration of the probe.
Do not expose the transducer to materials containing the following agents:
• Acetone
• Methanol
• Mineral oil
• Iodine
• Freon
• Industrial cleaners
• Materials containing perfumes (lotions, gels, etc.)
9. Specications
Warning:
Never sterilize the transducer with autoclave, ultraviolet, gamma
radiation, gas, steam or heat sterilization techniques. Severe
damage will result.
