• Momentarily press the “Mode Switch” to put the PowerCenter into
the battery calibration mode.
-
The ‘Charge’ LED is ON to indicate the battery is charging.
-
The LCD alternately displays ‘C 1’ and the percent of charge in the

•The battery automatically begins charging to maximum capacity.
-
The ‘Charge’ LED comes ON.
-
The LCD screen alternately displays ‘C3’ and the percent of
charge in the battery.
-
The ‘C3’ display indicates the system is operating in the third of 3
phases of the calibration procedure.
-
The battery is fully charged and the indicated charge data stored
in the battery is updated to 100%.
-
The LCD alternately displays ‘Cb’ and the percent of charge in the
battery.
-
The code ‘Cb’ indicates calibration has been properly completed
