Page 5: Battery Charging
The IRI 4010’s battery can be charged in the imager by inserting the included 12V power supply into the DC socket under the cover on the side of the IRI 4010 imager; see Figure 4. It takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge a fully depleted battery if the imager is switched off. Charging the battery with the imager switched on takes longer. -
