Re-activating a probe from Storage mode
To re-activate the probe, place probe on the wireless charger before turning the Vscan Air probe ON. The Vscan Air probe will not start unless a re-activate charging cycle has been initiated.
NOTE When purchasing a new Vscan Air probe it arrives with ‘Storage mode’ enabled, so to activate the probe it needs to be put onto a wireless charger before being powered on as described in the section To power ON the Vscan Air probe
Important guidelines to follow for Storage
• Store probe in a cool, dry place. Aim for temperatures between 0°C to 20°C and remember that colder is better, for example: 10°C is better than 20°C.
• Make sure to re-enable probes in ‘Storage mode’ at least every 36 months to check battery capacity, charge if needed, and put probe back into ‘Storage mode’ if required.
• If storing multiple probes, it is recommended to practice a first in first out rotation when selecting a probe for use.
