Allora 2
25
7 - Batteries
The Allora has an internal Li-ion battery. When a new battery is fully charged the
Allora can produce 10 hours of continuous sound and speech. The battery
capacity, coupled with the power saving routines of the device should be
sufficient to provide the user with a whole day’s usage before recharging is
required.
Connect the power adapter to charge the internal battery. Do not use any other
power adaptor other than the one that comes with the Allora.
You can continue to use the Allora during charging, although in these
circumstances it will take longer to fully charge the battery.
The battery charging indicator will turn from orange to green when the battery is
fully charged. The power adapter may in that case remain connected. It is
recommended that once charged the power supply should be detached from the
unit as this will prevent unnecessary accidents such as pulling the power cord.
The 2nd display also contains an internal battery. This battery is charged by the
Allora as soon as the 2nd display is attached to the Allora.
Press the 'Volume down' button and the on/off button simultaneously to show
the status parameters of the 2nd display: these are the serial number, Mac
address (this is the identifying address for the wireless connection), the software
version and the status of the battery.
7.1 Replace the battery of the Allora
The battery is located behind the battery cover of the Allora. The battery cover is
fixed by special screws. Remove the battery cover only if necessary, and use
only the correct equipment, a Torx screwdriver (Torx TX 10).
Press and hold the on/off key for about 5 seconds to fully switch off the unit.
Make sure that the Allora is not connected to the mains.
Put the Allora with the screen down on a soft surface so that the screen cannot
be not damaged.
Unscrew the screws with a Torx TX 10 screwdriver. Tilt the battery cover from
the screw holes away from the enclosure. The battery is now visible and can be
removed from the appliance. Insert the new battery into the unit. Make sure the
battery is correctly positioned and that it makes contact. This should be done
easily without the use of any force.
Replace the battery cover. Again this should not require the use of any force.
Use the Torx TX 10 screwdriver to screw the battery cover back in place, do not
turn the screws too tight.
