BATTERY - history
The graph at the bottom of the screen displays the charge and discharge cycles of the battery during
the last 8 hours of power on time of the device. The graph is updated every 5 minutes during
operation. GREEN vertical lines indicate normal battery power. The right edge of the graph shows the
last update. YELLOW vertical lines indicate that the battery need a charge. RED vertical lines indicate
that the battery is almost completely discharged and ready to shut down the device.
The distance between 2 WHITE vertical lines represents 1 hour.
A fully charged battery supports operation for about 4 hours. Up to 8 hours of operation can be
achieved, if the fully charged device stays connected with the charger via the USB connector or USB
port of a computer and the POWER SAVE option is activated.
The F-SCAN MOBILE NT does not function without the battery. If the battery fails, it must be replaced
at the factory. Its end of life is reached, when the unit runs about 2 hours only after a 7 hour charge.
The graph cannot be erased by the user.
CHIPCARD option
An option to increase independence and flexibility, using two types of ChipCards to transfer data
between members of the F-SCAN family, was designed into the F-SCAN MOBILE.
Program data consisting of frequency values only can be shared between F-SCAN MOBILE NT, F-
SCAN3, F-SCAN4, F-SCAN COMPACT and the MinDevice using the ChipCard.
The use of the ChipCard PLUS allows the transfer of frequency values and DIRP data sets to and
from F-SCAN3, F-SCAN4 and F-SCAN MOBILE NT.
ChipCard for data exchange
Insert the ChipCard as shown into the slot on the upper side of the device. The
contacts must be visible.
The menu ChipCard opens and offers 4 choices
