The Battery
Reliable operation of the SPEED
LIGHT Sports Timing System is greatly dependant on battery charge and
condition.
Take the time to read the following section carefully.
Although the battery in your SPEED LIGHT Sports
Timing System
has been
fully charged prior to shipment, to ensure reliable operation, SWIFT
recommend you fully discharge and then re-charge the battery prior to use. The
easiest way to achieve this is by leaving the unit powered on for
approximately 3 days. If you wish to discharge the batteries at a faster rate it is
necessary to connect the timing gates, and begin timing . Discharge will occur
in approximately 6 hrs in this configuration.
Do not recharge until the “LOW BATTERY” message is seen on the
Display.
(You must press “ENTER” to acknowledge this warning and enable
further progress through the menu! ).
NOTE: If you have access to a mains supply, the system can be run via it’s
battery charger.
Use only the supplied charger!!
WARNING.
READ THIS !!!
Due to the variability of battery conditions possible, SWIFT cannot guarantee
the integrity of data saved to memory for any defined amount of time after the
“LOW BATTERY” message is first displayed,
if you continue to time races.
