Charging the Batteries
1. Charging the batteries using an AC outlet
Connect the USB cable between the mini-USB port on the Sensor (or the Analyzer) and an
AC outlet. Charging will begin immediately. Note that connecting to the Analyzer's USB port
charges both the Analyzer and the Sensor units simultaneously (while they are physically
connected to each other).
2. Charging the batteries using a PC USB port
a. With the Analyzer ON/OFF switch turned ON, connect the USB cable between the
mini-USB port on the Sensor (or the Analyzer) and a USB port on the PC. Note that
connecting to the Analyzer's USB port charges both the Analyzer and the Sensor
simultaneously (while they are physically connected to each other).
b. Switch the Analyzer ON using the power button (hold it for 3 seconds) and the menu
