OPERATION

Battery Detection and Initial Charging

• Plug the power cord from the Indicator into a suitable AC power source.

• The battery may begin charging as soon as the AC power is connected. This

is indicated by one or more blinking segments on the bar graph display.

• Do not operate the unit on battery power alone until after an initial charge

has been completed*.

• When properly installed, the power on display sequence will include the

message “bAt OP”. This message shows that the system has properly

detected the battery option.

• It is possible that the power on display sequence also includes the message

“Lo-bAt”. This indicates that the battery requires charging.

*When first installed, the battery may require charging for 14 hours or more. This

special first time charge is indicated by the blinking of two yellow segments. Later

charge cycles will complete at a much faster pace.

Standard Battery Charging

If the system has been used until the display of “Lo-bAt”, the battery will begin a

new charge cycle the next time the AC plug is connected to a power source.

If the user requires that the battery charge be replenished regardless of the

existing battery level, a full charge sequence can be manually started by pressing

and holding the “C” button until a yellow segment begins to blink.

The fastest battery charging is realized when the system is powered off and

connected to an AC power source.

Charging may also occur when the system is powered on with the AC power

connected. In this condition, charging will occur at a lower rate. With the system

powered on, a full charge cycle may require up to 15 hours.

Normal battery charging is completed in 4 to 5 hours. As the battery ages, this

time may increase. A battery near the end of it’s useful life may experience very

short run times or may not charge at all. With proper care, the battery should

provide as many as 1000 complete charge cycles.
