Step 4: Recharging the Battery
The average daily treatment time supplied by
the battery in the controller will vary according
to the size of SFLX Treatment Coil being used.
The controller will deliver a minimum of 10
hours of unsegmented continuous treatment
for all treatment coils except the SFLX-4 and
SFLX-5 Treatment Coils. The controller will
deliver a minimum seven hour unsegmented
continuous treatment with the SFLX-4
Treatment Coil and a three hour minimum
unsegmented continuous treatment with the
SFLX-5 Treatment Coil. At room temperatures,
(24°C [75°F]) charging may take up to three
and one-half hours.
After completing a daily treatment session,
patients should do the following:
A. Turn the controller off.
B. Follow instructions A-C from
Step 1. Controller (Page 8)
C. It is not necessary to disconnect the
controller from the AC Adapter charger once
fully charged. The controller can remain
plugged into the AC Wall Adapter until the
patient’s next treatment session.
*NOTE: The controller’s permanently installed
battery cannot be overcharged. If the controller
is plugged into the AC Adapter and the battery
is fully charged, the charger will terminate the
recharging process early. During the charging
process the LED adjacent to the plug will remain
orange and once the charging is complete
the LED will turn green. Therefore, do not be
concerned if the battery is inadvertently charged
more than once.
When the Controller Needs Recharging
1. The display will read “Recharge Battery”;
“Treatment Halted” and emit three audible
beeps. Once beeping stops, the Controller
will automatically shut OFF.
After daily treatment, turn the controller OFF
and recharge as described in step 1: Battery
Charging. (See page 8).
*NOTE: An excessively low battery will result in
no LCD display.
If you are experiencing charging difficulties,
please verify that all electrical connections are
established. Then try charging the controller
again. If you are still experiencing difficulties,
contact Biomet. For a complete listing of
contact information, refer to page 29.
