1.3.3 External DC Supply (Optional) and Battery

1.3.4 Care of the Storage Battery

Revision A DINAMAP® PRO Series 100-400V2 Monitor Pre-Service & Calibration Manual
screen appears upon power up. You can bypass this message to go
to the Main menu by pressing any key on the Monitor.
The power indicators on the lower left on the front of the PRO Monitor
show the power source and charge status of the battery. The external
power indicator LED continuously glows green to show the battery is
charging.
The indicator flashes every four seconds to show an external power
source is connected, but is not charging the battery. Either a battery is
not installed or the external DC input voltage is too low.
Checking the Battery
1. Power on, and wait for the PRO Monitor to initialize. Confirm the
external power indicator is lit and the battery LED is off.
2. Remove the battery and confirm that external DC LED on the
Monitor flashes.
3. Fit the battery and disconnect the external power supply. Confirm
the external power indicator is off; the battery LED glows yellow; and
the battery icon appears on the LCD, toggling with the time indicator.
If the battery power is low, the battery LED flashes every four
seconds and the battery icon on the LCD changes.
4. Reconnect the external power supply, and verify that the battery
LED is off.
It is best to keep the battery charged as fully as practical. Never store
the Monitor with the battery in a discharged condition. When the
battery no longer holds a charge, remove and replace with one of the
same part number.
To ensure that the battery is ready for portable operation, keep the
unit connected to AC mains whenever possible.
Repeated failure to fully charge the battery significantly reduces
battery life.
