Battery Discharge
The battery pack (BTR-06) uses NiMH cells. If the battery pack is recharged repeatedly
even though a sufficient capacity still remains, a memory effect would make it seem as if
the battery capacity has decreased. If such a phenomenon occurs, execute [Battery
Discharge] to reduce the remaining capacity to zero. Then, recharge the battery pack to
restore the capacity. It is recommended that complete discharge of the battery pack
should be performed every month.
Operation Procedure
(1) Insert the battery pack inside the splicer that is intended to discharge completely,
and turn on the power.
(2) Change the screen from [Main Menu] to [Maintenance Menu1] and execute
[Battery Discharge].
(3) The [Battery Discharge] screen is displayed, and the remaining battery voltage is
indicated.
(4) Upon completion of full discharge, the buzzer sounds and the power turns off.
(5) Recharge the battery pack.
• If the splicer is left in the normal power-on state, the splicer will shut down
before the battery is discharged completely. Therefore, it is necessary to use
the [Battery Discharge] function to discharge the battery pack completely.
• The power saving function turns off automatically during [Battery
• If the battery pack is almost fully charged, it will take a significant amount of
time to discharge it completely. It is recommended that this function be used
after considerable time of use when the capacity is low.
