% Charge
The blue battery status display approximates remaining battery charge, and should
only be used to gather information as to the relative state of charge.
RECHARGE RECOMMENDED
WHEN BATTERY
CHARGE DIPS BELOW
APPROXIMATELY 10%,
RECHARGE IS
RECOMMENDED.
% Charge
As the AMX−4+ is used in its various modes of operation, the number of segments lit
will slowly decrease.
It’s important to note that you
do not have to raise your kVp and mAs valu
e to compen-
sate for low battery voltage.
Should the battery charge dip below approximately 10% of full capacity,
RECHARGE
RECOMMENDED
will flash on the message display. (If
all
segments are extinguished,
the message
RECHARGE IMMEDIATELY −− X−RAY INHIBITED
displays.)
To ensure maximum battery life, the AMX−4+ should not be recharged until at least
one−half of the bar graph segments have extinguished.
Illustration 6−2 shows how much of the battery’s capacity is used for the various
AMX−4+ operating modes on a relative basis.
