Preparation for first time use
Battery Types Used
The Model 606, 607, 608 and 609 generators come with four (4) size AA rechargeable Nickel Metal
Hydride (NiMH) batteries. These 1500 mA-H rated batteries can normally be recharged about 1000
times before needing replacement. Only suitable NiMH batteries can be safely recharged in the
generator.
You can use alkaline AA batteries with the generator provided that you never use an external power
supply with the generator while the alkaline cells are in the unit. Attempting to operate the generator
or recharge alkaline cells with the external power supply may cause operator injury and/or
damage the generator! Never mix battery types in the generator.
AC Power Supply
The AC power supply that comes with the generator has an input voltage range of 100-240 VAC from
47 to 63 Hz. The output is rated at 9.0 VDC @ 1.67 Amp. This is sufficient to operate the generator and
recharge the batteries at the same time. Attempting to operate the generator or recharge the
batteries with any other type of external power supply may cause operator injury and/or damage
to the generator!
Battery Installation
1)
Place the generator face down on a suitable padded surface.
2)
Remove the two back cover screws shown in the top figure.
3)
Lift the back cover off the generator and locate the four battery
holders as shown in the middle figure.
4)
Install the batteries making sure to match up their polarities for
each battery holder. The supplied batteries may not have any
printed polarity indication. The outer metal can is the negative
terminal. The insulated metal button as shown in the end view in the
lower figure is the positive terminal.
5)
See the information on page 8 to determine if the jumper should be
set to enable user re-calibration of the output levels.
6)
Replace the back cover and retaining screws.
7)
The supplied batteries may not come fully charged. Connect the supplied
Quantum Data AC power supply and charge the batteries for at least 8
hours.
Low Battery Indication
A "BATTERY LOW" message will blink on the LCD when the NiMH batteries
need recharging or alkaline cells need replacement.
