SECTION 5 – USING THE 4700

4700 REAR PANEL SWITCHES

There are two rear panel accessible switches, labeled SHIP and AUTO ON.

SHIP SWITCH

This switch totally disables the 4700 during shipment if it is in the down position. If a 4700 with option BP-47 is to
be shipped or is to be stored for periods of longer than several days then placing it in the down position will
prevent the 4700 from being accidently turned on in transit and will also reduce the self-discharge rate of the
battery. This switch must be in the UP position to operate the 4700.

AUTO ON SWITCH

If this switch is in the down position then the 4700 will automatically power on whenever external power becomes
available at the rear panel DC power input. In this manner a 4700 without option BP-47 will function as if it had a
"hard" power switch which has been left in the ON position and the mains supply is turned on and off.

4700 FRONT PANEL CHG AND PWR INDICATORS

These indicate the present power supply status of the 4700 as follows –
BP-47 not fitted –

PWR is continuously illuminated with a red color whenever suitable power is applied via the rear panel DC
power input.

CHG is never illuminated.
BP-47 fitted –

PWR is as follows –
o
Flashing green every 2 seconds. This indicates that the battery voltage is suitable to power the
4700 and no external power is applied via the rear panel DC power input and the 4700 is turned
OFF.
o
Continuously illuminated with a green color. This indicates that the battery voltage is suitable to
power the 4700 and no external power is applied via the rear panel DC power input and the 4700
is turned ON.
o
Continuously illuminated with an orange color. This indicates that the battery voltage is suitable
to power the 4700 and suitable power is applied via the rear panel DC power input.
o
Continuously illuminated with a red color. This indicates that the battery voltage is very low but
suitable power is applied via the rear panel DC power input.
o
Not flashing nor illuminated. This indicates that the battery voltage is very low and no external
power is applied via the rear panel DC power input.

CHG is as follows –
o
Not illuminated. This indicates that the battery is not being changed and has not been charged.
This indicates that either there is no external power being applied via the rear panel DC power
input, or the battery is faulty, or the operating temperature is beyond the allowable range for
battery charging.
