While running on battery, the light adjusts its output to meet the required minimum runtime. It
can be set by the control panel (see chapter 7.16) or the
AsteraApp™ between one and
twenty hours.
The battery is specified to last for 300 full discharge cycles. Its runtime will have decreased to
70% by then. To increase the battery life, it is recommended to recharge as early as possible
and not let the light run until the battery is fully discharged.
If operated below 20°C, the battery runtime may be slightly shorter than predicted. This is also
true if the lights are stored for a long time at cold temperature right before they are used.
The light is constantly monitoring the LED temperature and dims down the brightness if it
exceeds 65°C. That ensures a save and long-live operation but in a hot environment the
brightness might be slightly lower.
PLEASE NOTE:
Always store the lights with full battery.
Depleted batteries must be recharged immediately, otherwise their performance will suffer
.
ATTENTION
:
The battery may be only replaced with an original Astera replacement battery.

STANDBY
By using the AsteraApp
™
, the light can be set to a special standby mode.
In that mode, its output is switched off, the CRMX receiver is powered down and it enters a
state of low power consumption.
A full battery will supply the Titan Tube roughly 20 days in standby mode.
To leave the standby mode press ENTER key or select Leave Standby mode NOW in the
AsteraApp

The display at the backside of the Titan Tube contains a battery icon which indicates the
rough battery status. Next to it is a percentage that shows a more exact battery status.
While the light is connected to AC power, a power plug icon is shown next to the battery
icon. If the battery is fully charged the battery icon will be filled with color and the power plug
icon remains next to the battery icon.
The battery icon is shown in the top navigation and the Main Menu but not in the HIS and
brightness menus. If you do not see the battery icon, press the Menu button once to return to
the top navigation.
