How do I
check my battery capacity
?
When the iXm is powered up and you are not recording you can always
recall the remaining battery power and the remaining memory capaci-
ty. To indicate the remaining time to go simply hit the STOP (2) button
on the Dashboard. First, the BAT LED will slow-flash yellow followed by
a yellow slow-flashing MEM LED. Each flash indicates the approximate
equivalent of one hour of remaining BAT or MEM capacity. Use this
function regularely to assure that your required recording time is safe.
NOTE: This function only works in Record Ready Mode, not
while recording.
NOTE: When the remaining battery life falls short of one
hour you will be automatically warned. The BAT LED on the
Dashboard will start flashing amber. The last five minutes of
battery life are indicated by the BAT light on the Dashboard
flashing red.
What‘s my iXm‘s
operating time
?
Your iXm‘s total operating time is determined by a combination of two
power sources: an internal Li-Ion battery and an additional three AA
batteries. Fully charged, the internal Li-Ion battery provides a minimum
of 8 hours of operating time. Three AA batteries offer an additional
minimum operating time of 6 hours. You can insert the AA batteries
into the battery compartment of the PORT PANEL. In combination they
will give you a minimum of 14 hours of operating time.
You can select which battery source (AA batteries or interal battery) will
be used first. Selection is made in your iXm‘s user software. (See section
`User Software´).
NOTE: The remaining recording time is a combination of
memory space and battery life. Check that you have enough
memory space left on your SD Card for your next
recordings. (see: How to check my storage capacity?)
NOTE: Battery life might be less than indicated due to
low temperatures. It is recommended to fully charge the
iXm once a month to ensure your iXm‘s operating ability.
