Operating Instructions; Prior To Use: Charging The Batteries And Setting Date & Time - petMAP + II Operator's Manual

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

Prior to Use — Charging the batteries.
Connect the petMAP+II AC/DC adapter cable to the bottom of the petMAP+II and plug it into a suitable
power outlet; the included rechargeable NiMH batteries will charge whether the device is or The
ON OFF.
Battery Charge LED (viewable thru the "peephole" just above the SD Card slot on the left side of the
unit) flashes AMBER when the AC/DC adapter is detected and progresses to solid AMBER while the
battery is charging. It turns to steady GREEN when the batteries are fully charged. Optimally, it is best
to allow the battery to fully recharge before using the monitor under battery power, but partial charge
usage is acceptable if needed. It takes approximately 6 hours to recharge fully discharged batteries.
Prior to Use — Setting Date, Time and Altitude (if needed).
petMAP+II is manufactured in the US Eastern time zone and will generally arrive set for that time and
date and set to 1000ft (304 M) altitude. Time is set and displayed with a 24-hour clock where noon is
12:00 hrs and midnight is 24:00 hrs. If a change in time or date is needed, the user must do it manually
and the built in clock-battery will subsequently retain the proper settings of clock and calendar, even
when the unit is powered OFF and even if the main batteries are discharged. The expected life of the
clock-battery is approximately 4-5 years and must be replaced when needed at a petMAP service center.
If needed, setting the date, time and altitude requires that the user enter the setup mode. To enter the
setup mode, switch the unit OFF, and then press your thumb or finger on the screen gently and then
turn the unit ON while continuing to constantly hold slight pressure on the screen. The setup screen will
then display (you must continue holding pressure on the screen while this is happening) and in the
upper left corner of the display, a seconds counter will begin incrementing. See Figure 1.
Observe the seconds counter at the top left of the display, and when the count equals exactly 6, release
your finger or thumb from the screen—and the date, time and altitude setting screen should appear, as
in Figure 2. Touch Set repeatedly at the bottom of the display to scroll through the various settings
fields. To change a setting, press Inc or Dec. Once everything is set properly, exit by pressing the Ext
button on the lower left of the display. The unit will save the date, time and altitude and then power
OFF automatically. Switch the unit back ON to observe proper time at the top center of the display.
