Stage 2 – Trickle Charge Mode
This mode will deliver sufficient charge to top off the battery to 100% of its capacity in approximately 45
minutes. In this mode the charge indicator will be a solid green. Once 100% capacity has been
achieved the charge indicator will extinguish.
In the event of a fault with the battery charging circuit, or the battery pack itself, the charge indicator will
turn red. In this event, please contact your local representative to arrange for the repair of the simulator.
The charging times are approximate and will vary depending on initial battery charge state and
temperature. Also, if the simulator is turned on while being charged, the power from the charger will be
shared between operation and charging with the priority given to operation.
To conserve battery life it is recommended that once the battery is fully charged, the charger is
disconnected.

Calibration, maintenance and repair
5.1.
Calibration
Calibration of the simulator can be performed without the need to disassemble the unit. A single
adjustment made using the key pad is all that is required to perform the calibration. The calibration
function is password protected to ensure that unauthorized or inadvertent changes cannot be made.
Following a successful calibration, the date is automatically logged within the internal memory and
available to view in the “ABOUT” screen.
The calibration password is located on the rear of the sleeve containing the utility software CD. The
password is set at the time of manufacture and is unique to each simulator. If the password is lost or
forgotten, the local sales representative will be able to reissue it.
