INITIAL BATTERY CHARGING
After fully charging the battery for the first time, the aera 760 battery indicator
may report significantly less than full charge. In this case, the battery will need to be
conditioned to report the correct capacity. This can be accomplished by allowing the
battery to discharge completely and then fully recharging the battery.
USING CHARGE MODE
Applying external power to the aera 760 automatically turns on the unit for full
operation. If the battery needs to be charged, the external power source charges the
battery while the unit is in use.
