10.3 Battery Charging Problems
The batteries do not charge when placed in the OmniScan MX.
Possible solutions
• Make sure that the battery model used in the OmniScan MX is compatible with
the model suggested by Olympus. An incompatible battery may be able to power
the unit, but the recharge protocol may not recognize it.
• Make sure that the DC power adaptor is connected correctly.
• Charge the batteries using an external charger. Batteries charge much quicker
when the OmniScan MX is not in use. However, the batteries will charge very
slowly, if at all, if the power consumption is too high.
• Shut down the OmniScan MX and wait for it to cool. The internal charger is
equipped with a temperature monitor to prevent batteries from being recharged
when the internal temperature is too high.
10.4 Battery Life Problems
The battery charge does not last as long as it used to.
Possible solutions
• Drain the batteries completely before recharging them to extend their life.
• Recondition the batteries once a month using an external battery charger.
Although lithium-ion batteries do not suffer from the “memory effect” commonly
affecting other battery types, they should be reconditioned for optimum
