This automatic partial charging is an efficient way to keep
MVQUICKAL well charged even after several swaps.
It is however recommendable to fully charge MVQUICKAL on a
charger for the first time, or prior to an extensive working session.
How to switch off / switch on
MVQUICKAL is supplied switched off to save internal power and
automatically enters in low power mode when not in use.
-
How to switch it on:
a) MVQUICKAL automatically switches on upon installation of
an external battery with a voltage > 12V. Note that when an
external battery is installed, MVQUICKAL is permanently on
and will never enter in low power mode.
b) By pressing the LED button to check the state, when an
external battery is not installed.
-
How to switch it off:
a) MVQUICKAL automatically switches off when an external
battery is not installed for at least 60 minutes and the LED
button is not pressed during this period.
b) To force a switch off, remove the external battery and press
and hold the LED button for about 5 seconds until the LEDs go
off.
When MVQUICKAL is operating as the only power source,
regardless whether it is powering a device or not (meaning that no
external battery is installed), it will switch off after 60 minutes. To
avoid this, just press the LED button once to restart the countdown
and prolong the operating period.
It is preferable to switch off MVQUICKAL after a working session or
before storage to minimise the power consumption and the self-
discharge.
Battery communication - information to ALEXA
When BLUESHAPE batteries are used on MVQUICKAL, data is
transmitted from the battery to ALEXA and can be read on its
viewfinder. MVQIUCKAL has an in-built protocol translation board to
convert BLUESHAPE battery data to communication that can be
read and interpreted by ALEXA®.
The data switch selector can be moved by a pointed object towards
ON to enable or towards OFF to disable data communication.
