CHAPTER

Always fully charge the battery before using the BW RigRat. Its Li-ion batteries are charged by
connecting the instrument to its charger (P/N: W03-3044-000) and then plugging the charger
into an AC power source. In safe settings, use the AC Charge input with the included power
adapter.
Charging Ports
There are two charging ports:
AC Charging, Safe Area (left port)
l
Intrinsically Safe Charging For Hazardous Areas (right port)
l
Remove the cover for the appropriate port by turning it counterclockwise:
Note that the ports have different pin configurations and therefore require different cables for
connection.
Make sure the cable connector is tight. Finger-tighten the connectors, but do not use tools.
Align the connector and plug and then press in and turn the ring until it clicks.
