The blue battery status display approximates remaining battery charge, and should only be used to
determine the relative state of charge.

Capacity Gauge Features
"Stuck at Full" Feature
After the Definium AMX 700 charges to 100% (i.e. "CHARGE COMPLETE"), the capacity gauge will remain
"stuck-at-full" for a pre-programmed amount of usage before the number of lit segments begins to
decrease. This usage is equivalent to approximately 10 minutes of drive or 25 minutes of idle. Once this
"stuck-at-full" capacity is used, the capacity gauge will update according to Table 6-2.
Emergency Capacity Feature
When the Definium AMX 700 capacity gauge drops to 0%, inhibiting x-ray exposures, it is possible to
access some emergency capacity to finish an exam by turning the Definium AMX 700 off and then back
on. After it has completed its power-up tests, the Definium AMX 700 will provide enough capacity for
approximately 45 seconds of usage before x-ray exposures are again inhibited.
CAUTION:
In some cases the Definium AMX 700 battery may not provide sufficient voltage for proper
operation when EMERGENCY CAPACITY is used. Therefore this feature should only be used
when absolutely necessary.
Standby Mode
Having the key switch ON while charging will result in standby mode. Drive and exposures are not
allowed, but the PC and monitor can be used. The unit will remain in standby mode for a maximum of 60
minutes. There will be a timer countdown in the display area showing the remaining time before the PC
and monitor will be turned off. After the PC and monitor is turned off, the display will show "TURN OFF
SWITCH".
It is highly recommended to always turn the unit off while charging.
NOTE: The unit will not fully charge in the normal 4-5 hours if kept in standby mode.
