7.Release the scan button. The DuraWand will now be in a low power consumption state. Let the DuraWand charge for 14 to 16 hours or overnight.

Connecting the Durawand Recharger / Downloader Station to your computer

It is recommended that you turn the computer off during the following steps which describe how to connect your Recharger / Downloader Station to the computer for communication between the DuraWand and a Macintosh computer.

Connect the power supply into the power connection on the back of the Recharger / Downloader Station; plug the power supply into an electric outlet. The “Power” light on the Recharger / Downloader Station should be lit.

Connection the RJ-11 plug of the serial cable to the “Computer” port of the Recharger / Downloader Station, and connect the other end of the cable to the modem or printer serial port of your computer.

DO NOT place a DuraWand without batteries into the Recharger / Downloader Station

DO NOT leave a DuraWand with alkaline batteries in the Recharger / Downloader Station for any longer than thirty minutes or you will cause damage to the DuraWand. Remove a DuraWand with alkaline batteries from the Recharger / Downloader Station immediately after programming and data transfer.

Your DuraWand comes equipped with rechargeable AAA nickel-cadmium batteries. Press the scan button on the DuraWand after you replace it into the Recharger / Downloader Station and after you remove it from the Recharger / Downloader Station. This ensures that the DuraWand will be in a low power consumption state, enabling it to take a charge while it is in the recharger/ downloader and to conserve the battery charge while it is out of the recharger/ downloader. If your DuraWand is in the recharger / downloader when you shut down your computer, wait a few seconds, then press the DuraWand scan button. If you hear an upscale beep after pressing the scan button, the wand was in a high power consumption state that could have affected the battery life.
