Using The Facilities; Setting Up - Husky MP2500 Manual

32.5 Using the facilities

32.5.1 Setting up

MP2500 allows you to use a range of power sources and provides a wide
range of user and programming facilities related to their use. This section
provides a few simple guidelines on setting up units to use either Alkaline or
rechargeable batteries, which should provide a basis for your procedures.
You will probably need to modify your procedures in the light of experience.
Switching units from one battery type to the other requires a little more care.
This is described in Part 2, and should normally only be undertaken by
reliable personnel, typically within your technical support department.
32.5.1.1 Using alkaline batteries
If the users are competent, familiarise them with the instructions in Part 2
on changing batteries and using the HOT key, and provide them with spare
batteries.
If the unit will be used by non-technical operators and exclusively with
alkaline batteries, set it up as follows:
•
Use the HOT key power option (see Chapter 11) to set Battery
Charging Support to Disabled
•
Install the application and issue the units, fitted with alkaline batteries
(plus spare alkalines). Do not provide AC adaptors, or rechargeable
batteries.
•
Tell users about the low power warnings, so they will know when to
change the batteries.
If users do not need to change batteries while away from home base, you
need not provide the spare batteries; instead, the user's technical support
department could provide all battery changing facilities.
