Hardware Setup

Power for the Hand-held Monitor

The Hand-held Monitor can be operated using its built-in battery, or connected to either 115 volt or 230 volt AC power. A battery pack must always be installed to operate the HHM, even when using AC power.

An optional 230VAC Power Adapter can be used to connect the Hand-held Monitor Charger to variety of 230 VAC power outlets. See page 2-2 for more information.

Charging the Battery Pack for AC Operation

To operate the HHM using AC power, if the battery pack is new or has become fully discharged by operating the HHM on battery power, it must be charged for at least 20 minutes. If it is necessary to restore temporary operation before charging is complete:

HPlug the adapter cable into the HHM.

HWait 15 seconds and power up the HHM. It may be necessary to remove the battery pack for 15 seconds, then reinstall it.

Note that continually using the Hand-held Monitor in AC mode for an extended period of time causes the battery pack to deteriorate. After up to two years of AC operation of the HHM, the battery pack may not be able to accept enough charge to operate the HHM independently. However, it can still be used for AC operation.

Selecting 120 VAC or 230 VAC

Before plugging the adapter into AC power to operate or charge the Hand-held Monitor, be sure the switch at the base of the adapter is correctly set to match the incoming power (120 volts AC or 230 volts AC).
