3E3020 Gallagher HR4 Hand Held EID Tag Reader User Manual
POWER OPTIONS
When the HR4 is fully charged, it is expected to operate for 3–4
working days in typical yard applications.
Charge time will vary depending on the capacity of the power
adapter. Fastest charging is achieved via the mains adapter when
the reader is off (approximately 8 hours).
Important: It is recommended the Gallagher 5 VDC USB charger,
supplied with your HR4 reader, is used when charging off mains
power. Always charge the battery indoors.
Note: Tags cannot be read while the Reader is connected to
mains power. The Reader will operate while being charged using
the car charger, battery or PC, however charging will take longer
while the Reader is in use with the backlight on.
