Charging the
Actiwave
from the PC
There are two modes of operation when the dock is
connected to the PC (and the PC is switched on):
1.
Stand-alone mode:
The Actiwave software is not
running; the Actiwave devices are charged and their
charge status is indicated by the LEDs on the dock. While
the Actiwave is charging, the LED will be RED. When the
Actiwave is charged, the LED will stay GREEN. Note that
the status will alternate between charged/charging as the
charge level rises, and occasionally show red in order to
maintain full battery charge.
2.
Managed Mode:
In this mode, the Actiwave software is
running on the PC. The main display will show a bar graph
of the approximate battery level on the respective channel.
An Actiwave which has been used should be left charging
on the reader for a period of several hours, if you require it
fully charged. The estimated battery level shown may not
be fully accurate during charging itself, so it is advisable to
leave the unit connected and charging for some time if the
indication has reached green after only a short period.
