Charging and Discharging the Batteries
Ni-MH batteries
Ni-MH batteries must be fully charged prior to first-time use. A new Ni-MH
battery's full performance is achieved only after a number of complete
charge and discharge cycles. A fully charged battery will run for approxi-
mately 4-6 hours depending on the sensor head being used.
Charging Instructions
With the adaptor plugged in allow 15 hours for the battery to fully charge.
Note 1:
During charging the battery symbol on the display flashes slowly.
The battery can be charged with the sensor head installed or removed
from the base. (Remember to switch off the monitor before removing
the sensor head).
Unplugging the main power will reset the above charging conditions.
The batteries can be charged and discharged many times but will even-
tually wear out. When the operating time is noticeably shorter than nor-
mal, it is time to replace the batteries.
It is not necessary to fully discharge the batteries. When not using the
Series 300, 305, 500 or 505 Monitor as a portable unit, always plug in
the mains adaptor to recharge the batteries.
If left unused a fully charged battery will discharge itself over time.
Note 2:
If you have difficulty charging the battery, either:
A)
Replace the battery
B)
Contact Aeroqual with the software version number
(see section 3.3 to locate the version number.)
Additional Information for Lithium Polymer Batteries
A new battery's full performance is achieved only after a number of com-
plete charge and discharge cycles. A fully charged battery will run for ap-
proximately 10 hours depending on the sensor head being used.
Charging Instructions
With the adaptor plugged in allow 3 hours for the battery to fully charge.
There is no battery symbol on the display when using a lithium battery.
The battery can be charged with the sensor head installed or removed
from the base. (Remember to switch off the monitor before removing
the sensor head).
The Lithium Smart Charger displays a red LED light when charging
and a green LED light when the battery is charged.
