Care of LabQuest
Battery Life – Battery life will depend on the sensors and features used. To access power saving
options, tap Preferences on the Home Screen, then tap Light and Power.
Battery Maintenance – Use only the supplied AC adapter or optional charging station to charge the
LabQuest battery. A full charge can take eight hours. The battery cannot be overcharged,
and it can be safely recharged after a partial discharge.
Screen Maintenance – The LabQuest screen is water resistant. Wipe the screen clean with a cotton
cloth that is slightly dampened with water or ethanol. Do not use any other solvents. Do not
submerge your LabQuest in liquids.
Summer Storage – For long-term storage of your LabQuest, fully shutdown the unit by pressing and
holding the power button until the shutdown message is displayed. After the system shuts
down you can remove the battery, if desired. Store the LabQuest in a climate-controlled
environment. Excessive heat can significantly reduce battery life.

Federal Communication Commission interference statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not
occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) this device may not cause harmful interference and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation
RF Exposure Warning
The equipment complies with RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The antenna(s) used for this
transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your
authority to operate the equipment.
Safety Information
Read all safety information and operating instructions included in this Quick Start
Guide prior to using your LabQuest 2.
LabQuest is designed to be splash resistant. However, avoid water immersion and
standing liquid on the display. If water gets in the device, immediately shutdown the
device (tap System on the Home screen, then tap Shutdown, or hold down the power
button until the shutdown sequence begins). Remove battery, connected cables, SD
card, and any other accessories. Allow to dry thoroughly before restarting. Do not
attempt to dry using an external heat source.
Safe operating temperatures are from 0 °C to 45 °C. Storage temperature are -30 °C to
60°C. Exposures to low or high extreme temperatures will temporarily reduce battery
life. Avoid rapid temperature changes as condensation may form inside the device.
Do not leave in a car as temperatures can exceed the maximum storage range.
Contains a Lithium Ion battery. Use only supplied battery for this device. Do not
puncture or expose to excessive heat or flame.
Do not store in chemical closet or in areas of concentrated chemical gasses.
IC Statement
This device complies with Industry Canada license-exempt RSS standard(s). Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1)
this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause
undesired operation of the device.
Le présent appareil est conforme aux CNR d'Industrie Canada applicables aux appareils radio exempts de licence. L'exploitation est
autorisée aux deux conditions suivantes : (1) l'appareil ne doit pas produire de brouillage, et (2) l'utilisateur de l'appareil doit
accepter tout brouillage radioélectrique subi, même si le brouillage est susceptible d'en compromettre le fonctionnement.
Industry Canada - Class B This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio noise emissions from digital apparatus
as set out in the interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital Apparatus,” ICES-003 of Industry Canada.
Cet appareil numérique respecte les limites de bruits radioélectriques applicables aux appareils numériques de Classe B prescrites
dans la norme sur le matérial brouilleur: “Appareils Numériques,” NMB-003 édictée par l’Industrie.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference, including interference that may cause undesired operation of the device.
L'opération est soumise aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) cet appareil ne peut causer d'interférences, et (2) cet appareil doit
accepter toute interférence, y compris celles susceptibles de provoquer fonctionnement du dispositif.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent
isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful communication.
L'opération est soumise aux deux conditions suivantes: (1) cet appareil ne peut causer d'interférences, et (2) cet appareil doit
accepter toute interférence, y compris celles susceptibles de provoquer fonctionnement du dispositif.
RF exposure warning: The equipment complies with RF exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. The antenna(s)
used for this transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
Avertissement d'exposition RF: L'équipement est conforme aux limites d'exposition aux RF établies pour un incontrôlés
environnement. L'antenne (s) utilisée pour ce transmetteur ne doit pas être co-localisés ou fonctionner en conjonction avec toute
