Calibrating Batteries
Calibrating Batteries
To ensure that your batteries perform at their full capacity for the longest possible
time, it is important to calibrate them on a regular basis.
Calibration consists in a standard battery charge followed by a deep discharge,
and a complete charge. This procedure usually takes between 10 and 13 hours,
whereas a standard charge only takes about 3.5 hours.
Calibrate batteries by placing them in the optional, external charger and then
pressing the recalibrate button (See “Managing Batteries” on page 21.) Eddyfi
recommends calibrating your batteries at least once every six months.
Troubleshooting
To trouble shoot the Ectane 2, you must first connect it to a workstation running
Magnifi
®
. Troubleshooting information is found in the Magnifi documentation.
Firmware Corruption
If the Ectane 2 firmware becomes corrupted, you must start the instrument from a
backup firmware. This procedure is explained in the Magnifi documentation. To
locate the backup firmware button, see “Battery Compartment” on page 9.
CAUTION
During calibration, the charger may become warm.
