Checking the Battery Charge Status
To quickly check the battery status, press the round Center Daisy Button. An
announcement will tell you what menu screen you are in and the battery status.
The battery status is also given in the Settings sub-menu under Status. To get
to the Status menu from the Main Menu, scroll to and select Settings. Then
scroll to and select Status. (The percentage of available battery charge is
announced and also displayed in the screen). “100%” means a fully charged
battery. If the charge is below 15%, it is time to recharge. The Ace can be used
while it is being charged.
Charging the Battery
Important: Before the first us
e, the Ace’s battery needs to be charged to full
capacity which can take up to four hours. To charge it, use the power supply
and power cord provided as follows: First connect the power cord end with the
small prong into the port at the end of the rectangular part of the power supply.
Next, plug the power supply cord into the power port on the Ace. Finally, plug
the power supply into a power outlet.
Do not use the Ace while it is being charged for the first time. Later on, the
device can be used while it is being charged. In general, charging a depleted
Ace battery to full capacity takes approximately four hours. A fully charged Ace
battery lasts for about five hours of continued use.
For safety reasons, only use the adapter supplied for the Ace by Freedom
Scientific, Inc.
Battery Replacement
When the battery on your device has reached the end of its rechargeable life, a
replacement can be ordered either from the dealer who sold you the device or
directly from Freedom Scientific. On the lower back side of the device, there is
a battery compartment with a cover that is attached by four small screws. To
install the replacement battery, unscrew the screws, and remove the battery.
Position the new one like the original, replace it and tighten the cover.
