alternate power source connection is also used for charging the battery.
4) LOW-BATTERY LEDs: The four LEDs illuminate one at a time, starting with
the upper LED. Green represents fresh or fully charged batteries. As long as
the power is 11 volts or higher, the top green LED will illuminate. As the
power decreases to approximately 10 volts, the second green LED will illumi-
nate. The top green LED shuts off. When power falls to approximately 9 volts,
the yellow LED will illuminate and the green LED will shut down. When power
reaches approximately 8 volts, the red LED will illuminate and the yellow
LED will shut down. At this point the MK2-DCI will audibly start warning you
of lower seconds. When power falls below 8 volts, the red LED will start blink-
ing and the warning beeps will come every 15 seconds.
At this point the MK2-DCI will audibly start warning you of lower power with
a beeping sound every 30 seconds. When the voltage falls to about 7 volts, the
red LED will start blinking and the warning beeps will come every 30 seconds.
When the voltage falls below 7 volts, the beep occurs every 15 seconds. Below
6 volts the LED blinks quickly for a few seconds, after which the unit shuts off
to save the battery from damage. The warning mode continues until the user
installs fresh batteries, charges the batteries, or connects a 12-volt power source,
or until the power drops enough to shut down the MK2-DCI (see the “LED
Chart”).
