Chapter 9 Maintenance
Cleaning
Clean the Bird Site Analyzer only with a soft cloth dampened with mild
detergent and water. Do not use any other type of cleaning solution.
Charging the Battery
The internal battery pack will automatically recharge when the Site
Analyzer is powered from the ac or cigarette lighter adapter. Recharg-
ing time, from a full discharge, is approximately 4 hours.
External Battery Pack (Optional), Long-term Storage
Maintenance
When the external battery pack is stored for long periods of time with-
out proper maintenance, it will loose its charge and also loose its abil-
ity to reach full charge when put into service.
The maintenance procedure is to apply a one-hour “top off” charge at
three month intervals. Follow the battery charge procedures on page 8
for one hour only. Do not over charge the battery in storage.
Note: If a battery has been stored for an extended period of
time without “top off” charging, perform a full charge followed
by a full discharge. Repeat this cycle if necessary up to three
times. If the battery does not remain charged after three
charge-discharge cycles, replace the battery.
CAUTION
Harsh or abrasive detergents, and some solvents,
can damage the display unit and labels.
