Charging The Battery - GE MAC 3500 Service Manual

Charging the Battery

A fully charged battery ensures that the MAC system will operate without being
connected to an AC outlet. The MAC system's battery should be charged at the
following times:
• Before initial use
• Between acquisitions
• When the battery is low
• When the battery is completely discharged
To determine when the battery is low, use the battery gauge icon that appears in the
upper right corner of the system screen.

NOTE:
The system may run for a long time after the fully-discharged icon appears. When
the battery is fully discharged, the system will power off. To operate your system
at that time, you must connect the system to an AC wall outlet.
Use the following procedure to charge the battery:
1. Power off the system.
2. Connect the system to an AC wall outlet.
To indicate the battery is charging, the amber battery light glows (1) and the
charging battery icon is displayed on the screen (2).
