3. Operating Instructions

Once the Kircuit AC/DC Adapter is properly connected to both the power outlet and your Doxie Go scanner, the scanner will begin to receive power or charge its internal battery. No further action is required for the adapter itself.

Ensure the adapter is always connected to a functional power outlet.
For optimal charging, avoid using the scanner extensively while it is charging, especially during initial charge cycles.
Disconnect the adapter from the power outlet when not in use for extended periods.

4. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and safe operation of your AC/DC adapter.

Cleaning: Use a dry, soft cloth to wipe the adapter. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents. Ensure the adapter is unplugged before cleaning.
Storage: Store the adapter in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Avoid tightly coiling the cable to prevent damage.
Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect the power cable for any signs of wear, cuts, or fraying. Discontinue use if damage is observed.
