Fully charge the MiniLink transmitter before each use.
When the Minilink transmitter is charging, a green light on the
charger will flash.
The green light on the charger will turn off when completely
charged.
When you remove the Minilink transmitter from the charger, a green light should flash on the
MiniLink transmitter. This indicates it has enough battery power to last at least 3 days and is
ready to be connected to the sensor.
Charging time:
• First time use, or for a completely depleted transmitter:
up to 8 hours.
• Normal use: less than 20 minutes to fully recharge.
Always store the MiniLink transmitter in the charger when not
in use (to maintain optimal battery life). To preserve transmitter battery life during periods of
infrequent usage, remove the MiniLink transmitter from its charger for at least 1 minute every
1-2 months.
Battery status for charger and MiniLink transmitter:
• The light on the charger will flash red once every 2 seconds if the AAA battery in
the charger needs replacement.
• The light on the charger will quickly and repeatedly flash red over 2 second intervals
if the MiniLink transmitter battery is depleted. This should rarely happen if the
transmitter is recharged after each use.
