Initializing the Battery Pack

You need to initialize a new battery pack before using it for the first time or when the actual
operating time of a battery pack is much less than expected. Initializing is the process of
fully charging, discharging, and then charging. It can take several hours.
A software tool called "Gauge Reset" is provided for the purpose. Use the G-Manager
program and select the Battery tab to find the tool.

Checking the Battery Level

NOTE: Any battery level indication is an estimated result. The actual operating time can be
different from the estimated time, depending on how you are using DCU 220.
The operating time of a fully charged battery pack depends on how you are using DCU 220.
When your applications often access peripherals, you will experience a shorter operating
time. The two battery packs are discharged in parallel.

By Operating System

You can find the battery icon on the Windows taskbar (lower-right corner). The icon shows
the approximate battery level.

By Gas Gauge

On the exterior side of the battery pack is a gas gauge for displaying the estimated battery
charge. When the battery pack is not installed in DCU 220 and you want to know the
battery charge, you can press the switch to see the number of LEDs that light up. Each LED
represents 20% charge.
