Battery
The Luminex comes with one main rechargeable battery and an AC adapter/charger. You can operate
your writing machine on battery power or using the AC adapter/charger with the main battery charging.
Although you can use the Luminex with the AC adapter/charger, Stenograph recommends that you fully
charge the battery before first time use. See
Battery Charging Procedure
on page 12.
The main battery, fully charged, operates all the features on the Luminex for approximately 18-19 hours.
Charging time for the main battery is approximately 5 - 6 hours.
The main battery provides a FailSafe mode if the charged level of the main battery becomes too low and
you are not using the AC adapter/charger or have your micro USB cable plugged into a powered
computer. In FailSafe mode, the tilting screen, Bluetooth communication and WiFi communication turn
Off. Your steno notes and audio continue to be written to the Data and Backup SD cards and, if you are
writing realtime via a USB connection, steno notes are sent to the realtime screen. Steno notes also
continue to be stored in memory. FailSafe mode may last up to 3 hours. The Luminex retains the date,
time and user settings during FailSafe mode.
Charging the Battery
When the Luminex is powered by the AC adapter/charger, the main battery level is maintained. The
batteries fully charge in 5 - 6 hours. You can use your writing machine while the AC adapter/charger
charges the battery. The Luminex battery fully charged operates all features for approximately 15 hours
and then will go into Failsafe mode which may last up to 3 hours.
The Luminex battery only charges when needed. Once the batteries are charged, it is not necessary to
keep the writing machine plugged into the AC adapter/charger, however, keeping the writing machine
plugged in does not damage the battery. If you are connected via the micro USB cable to a computer
that is powered On, the Luminex battery can be charged. If you are not going to use your Luminex for an
extended period of time, Stenograph recommends keeping the Luminex plugged into the AC adapter/
charger. If the Luminex is not in use for a long period of time while disconnected from the AC adapter/
charger, it is important to fully charge the battery before use and to check the date and time setting on
the writer.
Use only the AC adapter/charger supplied with your Luminex. The Diamante
®
AC adapter/charger will
charge the Luminex if your Luminex AC adapter/charger is not available. All other chargers designed for
other Stenograph writing machines
do not
power the Luminex. Although previous Stenograph writing
machine AC adapter/charger may fit the Luminex, they will
not
charge the Luminex battery.
Turning the Luminex On and Off
On either side of the Status LCD are three touch sensitive sensors. The far left sensor turns the Luminex
On and Off. If there is no power source to the writer (AC adapter is not plugged in or your Luminex is not
connected to your computer via the USB cable) you need to touch the On/Off sensor for a 1/2 second in
order to turn the Luminex On. To turn the Luminex off, touch the On/Off sensor until you hear the beep.
Battery Charging Procedure
To charge your Luminex battery:
1. Plug the AC charger/adapter into a wall outlet.
2. Insert the small plug on the AC adapter/charger cord into the AC adapter/charger socket on the back
