How To Use
Before using the SCANGRIP I-Match 2 for the first time, charge the internal battery fully using the supplied USB charging cable. Full charge is achieved when the charging indicator turns green; this usually takes less than an hour from new, as the SCANGRIP I-Match 2 is supplied partially charged. In future, recharge the SCANGRIP I-Match 2 as and when required; this typically takes around 4 hours from a flat state. Please note that you should never store the SCANGRIP I-Match 2 with a flat battery, as it could become over-discharged and impossible to reuse. In line with this, if you don't intend to use your SCANGRIP I-Match 2 for a long period of time (i.e. several months or more), make sure you recharge it fully every 30 days or so, to ensure that the battery remains in good condition. On a more general note, we recommend switching between the two different colour temperatures when checking paint correction work, as they highlight paint defects differently depending on the colour of the finish. You will find it easier to spot defects (particularly marring and holograms) if you stand back slightly and sweep the beam over the bodywork from a distance of 50 - 100 cm.
