When the Driver is operating on battery power, the Batteries are
depleted together. Audible alarms will sound every 3.5 minutes
when the remaining capacity is low (less than 30 minutes).
The alarm frequency changes to every 30 seconds when the
external Batteries are very low (less than 10 minutes) and must be
exchanged, or the Driver must be plugged into external wall (AC)
power.
Battery capacity can be assessed independently of the Driver by
depressing the Battery Test button on the External Battery.
Five illuminated lights indicate a fully charged Battery, with each
light representing approximately 20% capacity.
6.5.3 Emergency Battery
The Emergency Battery is an independent, internal, rechargeable
lithium-ion battery that does not require routine service or
replacement.
It provides power to the Driver when no other power source is
provided. When fully charged, the Emergency Battery will provide
support for a minimum of 10 minutes.
Since operation on the Emergency Battery indicates no other power
sources are provided, the Driver will actuate a very high alarm
status, sounding a 10-beep audible burst at 70-80 dB until an
alternate power source is connected.
As with all rechargeable batteries, the full capacity of the External
Batteries and Emergency Battery will decrease as a result of
battery age and charge/discharge cycling.
