LCD Battery Indicator
The LCD Battery indicator shows the state of the charged battery from having a low
charge to being fully charged as shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3 Battery Indicator
The batteries are not fully charged until the battery indicator stops flashing. Full charge
takes about 12 hours and typical battery life is 6 to 8 hours. The batteries are always
being charged when the unit is powered from external power and the charge time is not
dependent on whether or not the unit is operating.
The unit can be operated from external DC power without batteries installed, however
the unit does not indicate the absence of batteries.
