Accurate Display Of The Battery Capacity; Storage; Disposal Of The Explorer 710 - COBHAM EXPLORER 710 User Manual

4. If you have a third charged battery ready, you can now take out the inserted battery and
replace it with the new one, without interrupting the operation of the EXPLORER 710.

Accurate display of the battery capacity

To ensure accurate display of the battery capacity, it is recommended to run a "learning cycle"
for every 100 recharge/discharge and at first time use. The learning cycle must be performed
at 20°C-30°C.
A learning cycle is performed as follows:
1. Fully charge the battery.
2. Remove external power and fully discharge the battery:
Use the EXPLORER 710 and/or leave it on until it turns off automatically. This way the
EXPLORER 710 "learns" the complete capacity of the battery. Note that it may take several
hours to discharge the battery if it is not in use.
3. Recharge the battery.

Storage

Do not leave the battery inserted in the EXPLORER 710 during storage. If the battery is not to
be used for a longer period of time, do as follows:
1. Fully charge the battery.
2. Remove external power. Then use the EXPLORER 710 or leave it on until the display shows
a battery capacity of approximately 50%.
3. Switch off the EXPLORER 710.
Important
4. Remove the battery and store it.

year you must recharge the battery. For further information on storage temperature, see
