Connect Power and Charge  

the Battery

 

1.  Connect the AC adapter to the power port on the  

 

            right side of the GLX. 

 

 

2.  Plug the adapter into an AC power outlet.

   

 

When you connect the AC adapter, the GLX turns on automatically 
and the battery starts charging.
You can start using the GLX immediately, but leave it plugged in 
overnight (at least 14 hours) to fully charge.
Once the battery has been charged, you can use the GLX without 
the AC adapter. To turn it on using battery power, push the power 
button at the lower-right corner of the keypad  

  and hold it for 

about one second.

 

5.  Hold the end of the  

 

temperature probe in  

 

your hand and observe  

 

how the data plotted  

 

on the Graph reacts.

 

6. To stop data recording,  

 

press 

      

 again.

You have just collected and graphed a run of temperature data. 
To collect additional data runs, press 

 again.

4.

 Collect Data With a PASPORT Sensor

1.  Connect the PASPORT sensor to one of the PASPORT  

 

   sensor ports.

 

5. Press 

 to open the Language menu.

 
 

6.   Press the up or down arrow key to highlight your preferred 

language.
