Operation

BATT CAL DUE IN XX DAYS

•  The calibration procedure can take up to 8 hours to complete.
•  To assure compliance with the temperature limits of the calibration, 

if performing the calibration procedure on aircraft the factory 

recommends, in regions with hot climates, performing the 

procedure during the cooler months of the year and in regions with 

cold climates, performing the procedure during the warmer months.

•  The battery discharge occurring upon entering the calibration 

procedure menu selection is considered part of the calibration 

discharge.

The accuracy of the battery capacity meter may be degraded after 

about a year of standby use or storage. The indicator alerts the 

operator when a capacity calibration is required by displaying the 

following message during startup for 90 seconds (The XX is the 

remaining number of days until calibration is due):

This message continues to be displayed at each start up. On day zero 

(0) the “CAL DUE” battery indicator (see below) is shown on the screen 

during normal operation. The message and “CAL DUE” battery indicator 

continue to be displayed until the calibration procedure is completed.

1.  Take the following into consideration before performing the 

battery calibration:

•  The battery SOC must be > 90% before the calibration can be 

accomplished.  Refer to charging instructions in step 6.

•  The ambient temperature of the indicator must remain between 

+5°C and +40°C (+41°F and +104°F) for at least 2 hours.

•  The battery must not have been in operation (charging or 

discharging) for at least 2 hours.

2.  Apply aircraft power to the indicator using the battery switches or 

avionics master switch (as applicable) and allow the unit time to 

transition to normal mode operation. 

3.  Remove aircraft power to the indicator so that battery backup is 

now functioning.

4.  If the amber battery icon labeled with ‘RTC’ is shown on 

the display the Real Time Clock (RTC) must be set before 

proceeding, otherwise the battery calibration will not work 
correctly. Contact an L3 authorized dealer.
