2.
Entirely discharge the battery, i.e. keep the device running until it switches off
automatically.
3.
Recharge the battery completely while the device is running.
4.
To verify the battery state, check the time stamps and battery life perc
under "Help" – "Show system info...".
Note: Do not remove or insert the Lithium-Ion battery while the device is running
with an external power supply. This leads to an unwanted reset of the lifetime
i
indicator, which subsequently results in wrong battery status indication. If the
operation time of the battery is shortening noticeably, order a new battery. The
battery lifetime has expired when the LED does not go off even though the bat-
tery has been charged for several days.
Danger: Only use the Equotip 3 AC power adapter (12 V, 1.25 A) to charge the
Equotip 3 indicating device.

12.5. Error messages

• "The application contains no version information...":
Possible causes:
1.
Something fatal went wrong during device update, e.g. a power loss occurred.
2.
The flash memory of the device is defective.
Countermeasures:
1.
Delete the update by pressing the "yes" button when the error message "The
application contains no version information..." is displayed. Then retry updating.
2.
If this error persists, contact a certified Proceq Service Center.
• "Boot menu":
1.
If critical files in the Equotip 3 indicating device have been corrupted, the boot
menu can help to reset the device to a functioning state.
2.
For this, press "Start Default Application".
Note:
i
The boot menu can be accessed by simultaneously pressing
during the booting sequence in case the indicating device does not boot up
properly anymore.

12.6. Slowing down of device

The device reacts very slowly, e.g. keys must be pressed for several seconds until the key
press is registered, or measurements are displayed with a delay of several seconds.
• The more you write to the flash memory (e.g. measurement series, device power up & shut
down cycles, device updates), the more frequently this condition can occur.
• The flash disc is automatically cleaned up when there are too many invalid sectors. This is
a common and necessary task.
• Wait some minutes, or continue working under this special condition.

12.7. Device reset

If the indicating device does not react, a reset must be carried out to correct faults. Press and
hold the on / off key for approx. 20 seconds. Wait for approx. 5 seconds, and then press the
on/off key again to switch on the indicating device.
