Powering the 38DL PLUS 35
When the battery is fully charged, the battery charging symbol (lighting bolt) is
replaced with a “full battery” symbol (battery with all bars full). This is the indication
that the battery is fully charged (see “Power Indicator” on page 31). It takes
approximately 2 to 3 hours to fully charge a battery depending on its initial
conditions.
It may take several cycles of complete charging and discharging of the battery to bring
the battery to full capacity. This conditioning process is normal for this type of
rechargeable batteries.
Battery Usage Instructions
• If the battery is used daily (or frequently), connect the instrument to the
charger/adaptor when not in use.
• Whenever possible, the instrument should remain connected to the EP-MCA
charger/adaptor (overnight or over a weekend), so that the battery reaches a full
charge.
• The battery must reach full charge on a regular basis for proper capacity and
cycle-life maintenance.
• Fully recharge discharged batteries as soon as possible after use.
Battery Storage Instructions
• Never store discharged batteries without a full recharge.
• Store batteries in a cool, dry environment.
• Avoid long-term storage under sunlight or in other excessively hot places such as
the trunk of an automobile.
• While in storage, fully recharge batteries at least once every two (2) months.
