Charging of accumulator has been
completed
The MDE device
has a built-in intelligent charging component which constantly
monitors the integrated Li-Ion accumulator capacity.
The accumulators
charge level is shown on the display by the battery symbol. The
battery symbol changes as the level of current changes.
The accumulator
life time depends upon the number of charging cycles carried out
during accumulator life. Therefore the accumulator should only be charged when
the capacity has fallen below a certain level. Charging the accumulator should only
be carried out when the symbol shows less than half-full.
The menu function
Admin/Accu Capacity
allows a more specific method of
showing the accumulator charge level. Here the accumulator capacity is displayed
in percent. Below a capacity of 30% the user is called upon to recharge the
accumulator. At the latest, when the MDE devices
signals “
Battery Low!
Press Enter Key
“ the accumulator must be recharged.
