The reader will stay powered on while:
• The reader is connected to the AC power supply or USB port of a PC.
• The reader is connected to a PC via Bluetooth in slave mode (remote device has established the
connection). The reader will power off automatically after 60 minutes of inactivity.
2.2 Charging Reader
The reader has an internal 7.2V lithium ion re-chargeable battery.
To charge the battery, follow these steps:
• Fast Charge: Plug the Micro USB cable into the connector at the bottom of the reader, then plug
the USB connector into the AC power supply. Charging using this method will take <6 hours with a
healthy battery. Multiple power plug adapters have been provided with the reader, please ensure
you are using the correct adapter for your location.
• Slow Charge: Plug the Micro USB connector of the cable into the connector at the bottom of the
reader, then plug the USB connector into a USB port of a PC. Charging using this method will take
≤16 hours with a healthy battery.
NOTE: Water cannot enter into the reader through the connector, but any moisture could damage the
terminals in the Micro USB cable if inserted while wet.
Ambient temperature during battery charging must be between 0°C (+32°F) and +40°C (+104°F) with relative
humidity between 35% and 85%, non-condensing.
The HPR Lite reader is not intended to be operated while the battery is charging. Should the reader begin
scanning while charging, the charge will be suspended and will restart after the scanning operation is
finished.
Please be aware that when using the reader in environments below freezing temperature, the battery’s ability
to supply power will be reduced. This will reduce the reader’s battery run-time and possibly the maximum
usable RF transmit power resulting in a reduction of reader performance. Please ensure your reader is set to
use power saving mode under these conditions to avoid excessively loading the battery. See page 15,
section 3.1 for more details.
Do not try to access or replace the internal battery. Contact Biomark for battery replacement.
Risk of fire if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
