function Hot Key. Pressing any key on the keypad for a few seconds will turn the unit
back on and the Badger-Radix will show the same screen that was displayed when the
unit turned off.
Note that when the Badger-Radix is on the Read screen or the Quick Read screen, it will
NOT turn off automatically, because the Badger ORION
®
Reading functions are active.
If you wish to conserve the battery, be sure to return to the main menu.
CHARGING THE BATTERY
The battery charges when the unit is placed in the Loader-Charger. Charging time for the
Badger-Radix, from completely discharged to fully charged, is approximately 2 to 3
hours. The battery charging light on the front of the Badger-Radix will be steady while
the unit is charging, and will flash rapidly once the battery is fully charged.
If you place the Badger-Radix in the charger and the battery charging light begins
flashing slowly, the batteries need conditioning. Leave the unit in the Loader-Charger.
The battery conditioning will take about an hour, and the charging will take another 2 to
3 hours. The process is complete when the battery charging light is flashing rapidly.
The battery pack is designed with a feature that senses when the battery is fully charged
and stops the charging process to eliminate over charging. If desired, the Badger-Radix
can reside in the cradle after the battery is fully charged.
If you are using the Badger-Radix and the battery is becoming too low to continue
operation, the Badger-Radix will show you a message stating that the battery is very low.
At this point, the Badger-Radix must be charged before any other functions can be
performed. Return the Badger-Radix to the charger as soon as you can. NOTE THAT
ALL READINGS STORED IN THE BADGER-RADIX WILL BE SAFE AND
WILL BE AVAILABLE ONCE YOU HAVE CHARGED THE BADGER-RADIX.
INITIAL SETUP – SETTING THE DATE AND TIME

unloading easier.)
If you wish to update the time or date, you can use the Date function in the Utilities
section. Please refer to the Utilities section below for more information.
