Introduction to Cub
Turning Off
Press and hold the button on the top of your Cub for three seconds to turn it off.
A progress bar is shown on the display screen as the unit switches off, with segments being removed from
the bar from right to left.
Batteries
Fully charge the Cub before use.
The rechargeable 3.7V Li-Ion battery in your Cub cannot be replaced, but should last for the lifetime of the
instrument.
CAUTION:
Li-Ion Batteries can be damaged if left in a discharged state. Please recharge Cub if battery indicator
is showing empty. Please note also that if Cub is left for one year unused, the instrument needs to be
charged fully before it can continue to be kept in storage. Please repeat annually.
Recharging the Battery
Cub instruments leave the factory with the battery fully charged. However prolonged periods of storage may
result in the battery discharging. We recommend charging the instrument for at least four hours before use.
See the ‘Recharging’ section of this manual.
Default Settings and Calibration
Cub instruments leave Ion Science Ltd pre-set for gas type Isobutylene. Instruments are factory calibrated
against isobutylene and all response factors are equivalent to this.
CubPC
The gas type and associated calibration can be changed using the CubPC software and a Cub Calibration
Docking Station. Ion Science Ltd recommends that you load the software supplied with your instrument and
set up your Cub according to the instructions in the ‘CubPC Software’ section of this manual.
