Using the Radian IS
Chapter 4
RADIAN™IS
35
If you decide to power your Radian IS using an external battery
source, such as a car battery, the top LED in the gauge will
blink.
*
Note:
Radian IS will not calculate the remaining battery life
of an external power input supply. Battery life is only
calculated for internal batteries. As well, it is assumed that
you are installing fully charged batteries. For this gauge to
report battery status correctly, always install fully charged
batteries into the Radian IS.
In normal operation, the battery life gauge will have the
following values, where time = T, from top to bottom:
•
4 hrs
≤
T
•
3 hrs
≤
T
<
4 hrs
•
2 hrs
≤
T
<
3 hrs
•
1 hrs
≤
T
<
2 hrs
•
0 hrs
≤
T
<
1 hr
When both batteries are completely charged, and you have not
used any of the internal battery power, the top LED will glow
yellow.
When you begin to use your internal batteries, the LED
associated with the amount of remaining battery life will glow
yellow. For example, when you have full power (four hours),
the top LED is illuminated, then when you have less than four
hours remaining on your battery life, but at least three hours,
the second to top LED will glow yellow and the top LED will no
longer glow.
The bottom LED is colored red. When the red LED is the only
one illuminated you know that you have less than one hour of
battery power remaining.
