Eclipse Operating Instructions
Press the On/Standby key to turn the Eclipse Premier on. The unit performs self-tests
and displays the current date and time, a message prompting you to check date and time
accuracy, and any error detected during the self-tests.
NOTE: To change the date and time settings, see "Configuring
SYSTEM SETUP Menu" on pg. 4-1.
After completing self-tests, the unit displays the PREVIEW screen.
Standby Mode
NOTE: The Eclipse Premier will automatically power down to
Standby mode after 15 minutes of inactivity.
To power down to Standby mode at any time during operation, press the On/Standby
key (there is no switch to disconnect power).
The unit is not operational in Standby mode; however, the internal battery charges in
Standby mode if connected to AC power.
The Auto Power Down feature may be temporarily turned off by putting the unit in
Battery Calibration Mode.
Power Indicator
This green light on the back of the unit (see Figure 2-1) is on whenever the unit is
receiving AC line power.
The Eclipse Premier displays battery charge status via the battery status gauge in the
PREVIEW screen (see Figure 3-2 on pg. 3-4) and in Standby mode. When all 8 bars
are lit, the battery is fully charged. When battery power is being used, the message
"BATTERY" is displayed and the minus sign ( - ) is highlighted indicating that charge
is being drained. When the unit is connected to AC line power, the message "AC ON"
is displayed and the plus sign ( + ) is highlighted indicating the battery is charging.
Connect the Eclipse Premier to AC power whenever possible to ensure reliable,
uninterrupted performance. Additionally, you must calibrate the battery prior to initial
use and at regular intervals; refer to "Calibrating the Battery" on pg. 2-5.
Charging the Battery
Connect the unit to AC line power to recharge the battery. The battery fully recharges
in about 4.5 hours. You may operate the Eclipse Premier from AC line power while the
battery is charging. However, this will increase charging time.
