or attempts to scan will automatically bring about additional “Low Battery”
indications.
This testing sequence has a power drain than normal scan or single menu
functions. This protects the user by insuring a low battery indication before total
unit power failure occurs, thus preserving proper unit operation. It is possible for
an intermittent “false” low to be detected and reported due to variations in battery
condition, temperature, component efficiency and rapid cycle time. When “Low
Battery” is indicated, the operator should turn their QC200 off, allow one or two
minutes for the battery to recover and then turn it back on. This sequence clears
the Low Battery “flag” or “pointer”. If the “Low Battery” indication returns
immediately on power up, then the unit should be recharged. If not, the QC200
can continue to be used.
The QC200 can be recharged before the warning is seen. Alternately, it can be
left connected to the charger when not in use. To extend battery life, battery
manufacturers recommend you fully charge the unit, use it till the “Low Battery”
indication is seen repeatedly, and then fully recharge before continued use.
