Using the Rechargeable Battery
The AMS operates from an internal rechargeable battery. From a full charge, the battery provides about four hours
of continuous use. Before using your AMS device for the first time, charge it for two hours.
The battery can be recharged about 400 times before the charge life starts to degrade significantly. The battery is
not user replaceable. For information on replacing the battery, see
Annual Factory Calibration and Battery
on page
Battery performance degrades at temperatures outside the temperature range: 15
–
45 °C.
Monitoring the Battery Level
MultiView receives frequent updates from the AMS on the status of the
AMS’
s battery. The

the AMS status area of the MultiView window shows the approximate percentage of operating time remaining
before you must charge the battery.
