Power; Switching On The Unit - Rhopoint Instruments Optimap PSD 3 Manual

6 Power

The Optimap™ PSD is powered by an integrated high-capacity lithium ion battery.
Fully charged the instrument will operate for approx. 3 hours depending on usage.
A mains powered battery charger is provided with the unit allowing it to be fully charged,
when connected to the unit's charger input (4), in under 5 hours. The instrument can also
be used with the charger plugged in. The charging time will be longer if the instrument is
used during charging. Battery status is shown by the indicator on the front screen (2).
Lithium-ION cells do not suffer from "memory effects" so it will not reduce the life of the
battery if the charger is used to top up the battery between readings.
