Power

GDD's SCIP tester is powered by a rechargeable Li-Ion battery. Here are a few tips for using and
storing the SCIP tester.
Usage
 Use the power supply provided by GDD to charge the SCIP tester battery. If you want to use
another AC charger, make sure that the specifications are the same as those of the AC
charger provided by GDD.
 Do not replace the SCIP internal battery without the authorization and advice of GDD's
technicians.
 The total operating time of the SCIP tester depends on environmental conditions. Using the
SCIP in very cold weather (-20
temperatures (20°C), the operating time is from 10 to 16 hours.
 The power level of the batteries and the charging status appear on the main screen of the
Archer2 PDA when using the SCIP program.
 Use the AC charger as a power supply for working with the SCIP tester when the battery
level is too low.
 There is a protection circuit in the SCIP tester that prevents charging the battery in cold
weather (under 0°C) or in hot weather (over 45°C).
 The SCIP will turn itself off when the battery reaches a critical low level.
Storage
 When storing the SCIP tester for a few days or more, make sure that the battery is fully
charged.
 Store the SCIP tester in a cool, dry place.
