Battery Lifetime
Under typical operating conditions freshly
charged batteries should last for 2-3 hours.
With maximum power treatments freshly
charged batteries should last 1 hour. The
amount of charge left in the batteries is
shown on the battery indicator when the
device is switched on.
Typically, NiMH batteries need replacing after
12 months of continuous use although you
may need to replace them sooner if you are
experiencing poor performance.
When replacing batteries, do not mix old and
new rechargeables or batteries of different
capacity (mA/hour) ratings.
Using Non-Rechargeable Batteries
Acticare IC can be used with AA sized alkaline
batteries. You may find this useful if traveling
abroad.
Storing Acticare IC
If you plan to store your unit for a period of
longer than a month, it is essential that you
remove the batteries from the unit.
This helps maintain charge and extends useful
life of the batteries.
Charging Batteries
Never attempt to recharge standard
alkaline batteries. Do not plug
anything into the base of Acticare IC
except for the dedicated Acticare
charger stand.
