To connect an extra, external EXPLORER 710 battery
If you are not close to a power source, you may want to use an extra EXPLORER 710 battery as
backup. Do as follows:
1. Acquire an extra EXPLORER 710 battery with a dedicated EXPLORER 710 Hot Swap Cable
(part number 403720B-010).
2. Connect the dedicated cable between the external
EXPLORER 710 battery and the Ext. Battery
connector on the EXPLORER 710.
The EXPLORER 710 continues normal operation on
the inserted battery until it runs out of power.
3. When the inserted battery runs out of power, the EXPLORER 710 switches to the external
battery and continues normal operation.
4. If you have a third charged battery ready, you can now take out the inserted battery and
replace it with the new one, without interrupting the operation of the EXPLORER 710.
Accurate display of the battery capacity
To ensure accurate display of the battery capacity, it is recommended to run a “learning cycle”
at first time use and then at regular intervals (approximately for every 100 recharge/discharge
cycles). The learning cycle must be performed at 20°C-30°C.
A learning cycle is performed as follows:
1. Fully charge the battery.
2. Remove external power and fully discharge the battery:
Use the EXPLORER 710 and/or leave it on until it turns off automatically. This way the
EXPLORER 710 “learns” the complete capacity of the battery. Note that it may take several
hours to discharge the battery if it is not in use.
3. Fully recharge the battery.
Important
Before removing the empty battery, click/select the battery symbol in the
web interface or the display and make sure that the EXPLORER 710 is
actually running on the external battery.
