Battery Tips and Cautions
Before the FocusBT can be placed in operation the battery pack must be
charged for a minimum of 8 hours. After the initial preparation charge of
8 hours, the battery will only require 6 hours to come to a full charge when it
gives a Low Battery warning (see page 8). Follow the steps on page 7 to fully
charge the battery.
Once charged, the unit is able to handle 5400 continuous first pass readings over
a period of approximately 9 hours. After 30 seconds of no activity the scanner
will go into a sleep mode to conserve battery life.
