Battery Care - Abilitec Amber Getting Started

Amber's battery has 2 functions:
• it provides power for temporary operation away from the mains supply
• it keeps the recordings stored.
The battery used in Amber is a sealed lead-acid type. From a full charge it will keep the
system operating for about 100 hours. The battery is automatically charged when the unit is
plugged into the mains and can be left charging indefinitely without fear of damage. The
charger is designed to replenish 12 hours normal use in about 60 minutes and will
automatically regulate the charge to that required. When Amber is operating from its internal
battery (i.e. not charging) you will be warned by a red light blinking on the front panel.
Don't let the battery go completely flat as you will not only lose the stored information but
the battery may be permanently damaged. Amber will beep every 10 minutes when the
battery is getting low. This means it should be charged within two hours.
To charge Amber's battery:
1. Plug the battery charger cable into the charger socket on the bottom left
corner of Amber's rear panel.
2. Plug the charger into the mains and make sure that it is turned on at the
wall.
3. Charge for at least 2 hours.
