Assembling and charging the network hubs

The network hubs contain rechargable batteries. Hub batteries are

already charged when shipped, but you should charge them overnight

before using them in your class. When the hubs are fully charged, they

will function all day under continuous use. You should recharge them

each night.

The network charging bay can hold from one to four hubs. After you

place the hubs in the charging bay, they are charged simultaneously until

all are fully charged. If the batteries are fully discharged, it may take up

to 12 hours to fully charge the batteries.

With four network hubs in the charging bay, you should charge them for

12 hours. Typically this is done overnight or over a weekend. When the

hubs are fully charged in the bay, the LED shows solid green.

Note: You cannot damage the batteries by leaving them in the charging

bay beyond the time needed to fully charge them. Also, it is not

necessary to fully discharge the batteries before recharging them.

1. Make sure you have enough (3–4) power outlets for the equipment

you received. If necessary, obtain a plug strip so that you have plenty

of grounded outlets.

2. Insert the small end of the AC9940 power adapter cord into the

charging bay’s power jack.

3. Plug the other end of the adapter into a power outlet.

4. Attach a network connector to each hub. Press firmly to make a

good connection.

5. Insert each hub into the charging bay. You can insert them only one

way.
