Low Battery Detection; Battery Saver Mode - Lafayette 01163 User Manual

The Lafayette Manual Muscle Test System (MMT)

Low Battery Detection:

The MMT is equipped with circuitry
to detect when the battery is low on
power.
Low Battery Detection guidelines:
1. The MMT uses two methods to indicate a low battery condition.
2. The first is a battery icon displayed in the center of the Main Measurement Screen.
(See Main Measurement Screen on page 7.)
3. The second is an audible beep with an error message that requires a button response.
(See errors and warning messages on page 16.)
4. The low battery error message is given every time the MMT is turned on or is reactivated
after being in Battery Saver Mode.
5. The battery will run for about 10 hours after a low battery condition is detected.
6. Stored test data is NOT affected by a low or dead battery. Removing the battery will not
result in any loss of stored data (current test data that is not stored will be lost).
7. Accuracy of the force or time measurements are not affected by a low battery condition.
For directions on changing the battery, see the Battery Change description on page 15.

Battery Saver Mode:

The MMT has a built-in battery saver mode to power down the circuitry when the device is
not in use. This reduces the wear on the battery and prolongs battery life. The Battery Saver
Mode is initiated after two minutes of inactivity on the MMT. When in battery saver mode, the
LCD and measurement circuitry are powered down. This will result in the screen going blank.
To wake up from Battery Saver Mode:
1. Press one of these four buttons: RESET, MENU, ENTER or SCROLL
2. Pressing the RANGE button does not wake up the MMT
Note 1: For maximum battery life, turn the MMT OFF when not in use. While battery
saver mode greatly reduces the strain on the battery, the battery does still lose a
small amount of power.
Note 2:
Battery saver mode will only activate from the main menu screen. If the MMT is
left in a menu or sub-menu, the battery saver mode will not activate.
