Standard Battery - The standard battery holder holds eight “AA” cell batteries.
Alkaline batteries are recommended.
NiMH Rechargeable Battery - The included “Smart Charger” senses the type
of charge the battery needs and automatically adjusts the charge cycle. From
complete discharge, this system provides a full charge in as little as 2-3 hours.
A full charge will last 6-12 hours of normal use. An “Unhappy Battery Icon” will
automatically appear on the search display when the battery approaches eight
volts. When the battery voltage gets exceedingly low, Spectra will begin to act
erratically and automatically shut down.
Charging - To charge the NiMH battery pack, plug the charger into a standard
wall outlet. (110 volts for USA models, 220 volts for UK models). Insert the bat-
tery pack into the cradle and plug the charger plug into the back of the cradle.
Green and red lights should glow. During charge it is normal for the battery
and charger to get warm. If either gets hot or deforms due to the heat, discon-
tinue use and return for testing. When the red light goes off the battery is fully
charged and ready for use. Leaving the battery in the charger for longer periods
does no harm.
