Lithium-Ion Batteries

The OmniScan MX2 holds up to two lithium-ion batteries, but will operate even with
only one battery installed. When two batteries are installed, the OmniScan MX2
operates by default using the battery with the highest charge. When both batteries are
at the same charge level, the OmniScan MX2 operates using both batteries at the same
time. This increases battery life by about 10 % compared to using each battery
individually.
Lithium-ion batteries can be inserted and removed without needing to shut down the
OmniScan MX2, provided that there is another valid power source available (DC
power adaptor or second battery).
The OmniScan MX2 also includes a lithium coin battery that does not need to be
removed or replaced by the user. The coin battery keeps the instrument clock and
masterboard configuration running.

Battery Status Indicators

The battery status indicators located on the upper left corner of the display screen use
one of the following two methods to indicate the amount of power remaining in each
battery (see Figure 2-4 on page 40):
• The remaining operation time is displayed on the battery status indicator. The
OmniScan MX2 must be operated for approximately 15 minutes before it is able
to accurately display this information.
• The charge indicator (bar) on the battery status indicator shows the approximate
amount of remaining power in the battery.
If you attempt to start the OmniScan MX2 using batteries with an insufficient charge,
the power indicator light will flash red for approximately three seconds. To operate
the OmniScan MX2, replace the batteries or plug in the DC power adaptor.
