Replacing The Alkaline Battery Adapter - Honeywell MiniRAE 3000+ User Manual

Replacing the alkaline battery adapter

An alkaline battery adapter is supplied with each instrument. The adapter (part number 059-
3052-000) accepts four AA alkaline batteries (use only Duracell MN1500) and provides
approximately 12 hours of operation. The adapter is intended to be used in emergency
situations when there is no time to charge the Li-ion battery pack.
To insert batteries into the adapter:
1. Remove the three Philips-head screws to open the compartment.
2. Insert four fresh AA batteries as indicated by the polarity (+/-) markings.
3. Replace the cover. Replace the three screws.
To install the adapter in the instrument:
1. Remove the Li-ion battery pack from the battery compartment by sliding the tab and tilting
out the battery.
2. Replace it with the alkaline battery adapter
3. Slide the tab back into place to secure the battery adapter.
Alkaline batteries cannot be recharged. The instrument's internal circuit detects alkaline
batteries and will not allow recharging. If you place the instrument in its Charging cradle, the
alkaline battery will not be recharged. The internal charging circuit is designed to prevent
damage to alkaline batteries and the charging circuit when alkaline batteries are installed
inside the instrument.
Note: When replacing alkaline batteries, dispose of old ones properly.
To reduce the risk of ignition of hazardous atmospheres, recharge the battery only in
areas known to be non-hazardous. Remove and replace the battery only in areas
known to be non-hazardous.
Note: The internal charging circuit is designed to prevent charging to alkaline batteries.
