About the Battery
The MViQ is powered by a 10.8 V (nominal), 73 Wh, 6.8 Ah Lithium Ion battery.
Installing the Battery
Insert the battery into the handset. The battery is installed properly when
the latching mechanism is engaged.
Caution—Do not force the battery (
1
) into the handset (
2
), as damage
may occur. The battery is keyed and may only be installed in the proper
orientation.
Removing the Battery
Press battery release button (
3
) to release the battery.
Caution—Do not remove the battery while the system is operating.
Battery Charge Level
Check the battery charge by pressing the battery symbol (
4
) on the front
of the battery. Each light (
5
) represents approximately 20% of the battery
charge capacity.
Charging the Battery
Connect the DC output of the battery charger into the MViQ battery (
6
) and
then plug the included AC to DC power adaptor into a suitable AC power
source. The LED battery lights will illuminate according to the amount of
charge attained. The system may operate while charging.
Note:
The battery may be charged while connected to an operating MViQ
or while disconnected from the iQ.
Note:
When the battery is fully charged, the LED battery lights will turn off.
Note:
Battery run time approximately equals battery charge time; therefore,
a two hour battery will take approximately two hours to charge. Charging
time will be longer if the battery is connected to an operating MViQ system
while charging.
Note:
All batteries are shipped with a partial charge. Batteries should be
fully charged prior to use.
Battery Storage
Caution - Do not store an uncharged battery as it may become unusable!
The battery’s protective circuitry will not allow charging below a certain
minimum voltage threshold in order to prevent thermal runaway.
Please refer to Appendix Q for more information on Battery safety and
maintenance.
