Batteries
MyLab
can be equipped with an internal battery pack.
NOTE
The battery pack is installed by Esaote personnel. This person will be
responsible for its installation and for ensuring that the system is working
properly.
CAUTION
When
MyLab
is equipped with its internal battery, do not leave the system
exposed to direct sunlight.
If some smell is noticed coming from a
MyLab
equipped with its internal
battery, stop using it immediately and contact Esaote personnel.
Remove the batteries from the system if it will not be used for a long time.
WARNING
Avoid contact with leaking batteries, the contents are harmful. Irritation,
including caustic burns and injury may occur following exposure to a
leaking battery.
When the system is connected to the power mains and the main switch is on
ON, the battery is continuously charged, even if
MyLab
is switched off. On
the other hand, the battery discharges whenever the system is disconnected
from the power mains.
When the charging level of the battery reaches the minimum threshold
needed for working, the icon is contoured by a blinking frame and the residual
time is displayed beside. Either connect the system to the mains power or
switch the system off.
MyLab
automatically switches itself off when the
residual operating time is expired.
Battery Status
Battery Status LED The battery LED is located on the control panel.
Its color indicates the status of the battery: when the LED is lighted, at least
one battery is being charged.
The best method for charging the battery is to connect the system to the
power mains while keeping it switched off.
During the charging procedure the battery LED is orange: the procedure is
completed when the battery LED switches off.
A system which has not been used for a month needs to be charged before
using it with the battery.
