BATTERY INFORMATION AND WARNINGS
The DuraWand uses four AAA nickel-cadmium batteries. To prolong battery life, press the
DuraWand scan button once after you insert the DuraWand into the Recharger / Downloader Station and
once after you remove it from the Recharger / Downloader Station. This ensures that the DuraWand is in
a low power consumption state, enabling it to accept a charge while it is in the Recharger / Downloader
Station and conserve the battery charge while out of the Recharger / Downloader Station. The battery
charge will also last longer if you release the scan button between scans.
The Recharger / Downloader Station will only recharge nickel-cadmium batteries. Alkaline batteries
must not be recharged. Remove a DuraWand with alkaline batteries from the Recharger / Downloader
Station immediately after programming and data transfer has been completed. You may use alkaline
batteries in an emergency but do not leave them in the Recharger / Downloader Station any longer
than absolutely necessary.
WARNINGS
DO NOT put a DuraWand without batteries into a Recharger / Downloader Station.
DO NOT mix battery types (i.e. nickel-cadmium and alkaline).
DO NOT mix new and used batteries. Replace all four batteries for optimum battery performance.
DO NOT leave a DuraWand with alkaline batteries in the Recharger / Downloader Station any
longer than necessary. A DuraWand with alkaline batteries should be in the Recharger / Downloader
Station only for programming and transfer of data.
DO NOT dispose of batteries in fire.
DO transfer data from the DuraWand using the Videx Downloader application before replacing
batteries. Any data in the DuraWand will be lost during battery replacement.
DO install the batteries correctly, or you will cause damage to your DuraWand.
Do not leave a Durawand with alkaline batteries in the Recharger/
Downloader Station for more than thirty minutes. Doing so will
cause damage to the Durawand and/or the Recharger/Downloader
Station.
