6.3 Battery Compartment
While this unit may be powered
directly via the USB port, it is more
typically powered by a rechargeable
Lithium-ion battery (not included)
which is concealed within the bottom
of the unit.
A
Opening the Compartment: Use a small athead screwdriver to
gently, but rmly, press down into the slot 1 behind the base
panel and the bottom cover will pop out.
B
Removing the Battery: If a battery is already installed, a Mylar tab
2
will be visible beneath the battery. Pull on the Mylar tab to pop
the battery out of its holding brackets.
C
Inserting the Battery: Turn the unit so that it is face down and align
the battery so that the positive terminal of the battery (marked
with a +) is aligned with the positive (+) marking on the right-hand
side on the back of the battery compartment. Extend the Mylar
tab out of the battery compartment, then place the battery on
top of the extended tab and slide the battery into the unit until it
snaps into the holding brackets as shown in the illustration.
D
Closing the Compartment: After the battery has been properly
inserted, place the battery compartment cover back into the
bottom of the unit by rst tting the 2 small tabs on the cover into
the 2 slots in the case and then gently snapping the cover into
place.
E
Charging the Battery: Connect a USB charger (5V/2.1A minimum)
to the USB port to charge the unit’s battery until it is full. The
typical charging time, from empty to full, is approximately 3 hours
while the unit’s power is off. Average operation time from a fully
charged battery is roughly 4 hours, but might be less depending
on specic usage and battery quality.
Note: A battery is not included in the standard package,
however the Panasonic NCR18650B (3.6V/3350mAh) Lithium-ion
rechargeable battery is recommended.
