Notes
The PLANIX smart battery is shipped in sleep
●
mode. Before it can be used, the battery must
be plugged in to charge for >30 seconds in
order to disengage sleep mode.
Only the specified power supply shipped with
●
the PLANIX may be used to charge the system.
To charge the 360° camera and PLANIX
●
simultaneously, the PLANIX must be powered
on. If PLANIX is powered off, its USB ports will
not supply power to charge the 360° camera
and the camera will be charged from the
PLANIX system battery next time PLANIX is
powered on, thus reducing the available system
battery runtime.
If the PLANIX is powered on while charging, the
●
inactivity power off timeout settings are
ignored.
If the PLANIX is powered on while charging, the
●
laser scanner will power off to eliminate noise
and reduce required charging time.
If the PLANIX is powered on while charging and
●
the laser scanner has been powered off, taking
a picture will power the laser scanner back on.
The charging indicator light may blink rapidly if
●
there is an error detected; remove and reinsert the power supply.
Avoid inserting or removing the system battery while the power supply is connected.
●
Avoid removing the system battery while the PLANIX is powered on.
