Battery change during measurement
Batteries can be exchanged during measurement. Please note that to continue the
recording without interruption, there should always be at least one -sufficiently
charged- battery inserted while exchanging batteries.
Battery low indication
When the battery charge is lower than a certain level, the battery indicator in the
status indicator window starts to blink orange. This indicates that it is time to swap
the battery.
The batteries of the Data Recorder are charged via the Docking Station, when the
Data Recorder is docked onto it or by using the external Battery Charger (see
accessories and add-ons).
Battery discharge
Batteries are discharged on an ‘equal level’ base. This means that if you insert two
batteries, they are being discharged at the same speed. In case there are two
batteries with unequal charge, it will be discharged until they reach the same level.
A battery low indication will therefore always apply to both batteries.
Operation time
The operation time when not on the docking station of the Data Recorder is
approximately 10 hours (two fully charged batteries). The operation time on batteries
is dependent on the device configuration (sampling rate, number of channels, power
consumption of sensors etc.). The operation time does not include scenarios where
batteries are exchanged, or recharged, during measurement (see above).
Charge batteries
Batteries can be (re-)charged via the Docking Station, or using an external battery
charger.
Via Docking Station
The batteries of the Data Recorder are automatically charged whenever it is docked
on the Docking Station.
External battery charger
Remove the battery from the Data Recorder and use the external battery charger as
described in the Instructions for Use of the external charger.
Storage and empty batteries
To prevent draining the batteries, it is recommended to remove the batteries from
the device when you store it for a period longer than a week. If you do not remove
the batteries from the device, make sure a sufficient charge remains in the device as
it may be drained completely.
Docking mechanism
Establish an electrical connection between Data Recorder and Docking Station by
sliding the Data Recorder in the Docking Station. Align the docking rail of the Docking
