4.3 Battery Charging Problems
The batteries do not charge when placed in the OmniScan MX2.
Possible solutions:
• Make sure that the battery model used in the OmniScan MX2 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. The batteries charge much quicker
when the OmniScan MX2 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 MX2 and wait for it to cool. Battery charging is disabled
when the battery temperature or the system’s internal temperature is too high.
This status will be indicated on the battery status indicator (see Table 7 on page 37
for battery status indicator descriptions).
4.4 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 the lithium-ion batteries do not suffer from the “memory effect”
commonly affecting other battery types, they should be reconditioned for
optimum efficiency (for details, see section 2.4.6 on page 39).
