10 MC6 User Manual – Part 1, Introduction
BATTERIES
MC6 has internal rechargeable Lithium Polymer (LiPo) batteries. Since LiPo
batteries do not suffer from the memory effect, they may be charged at any
time. However, there are some serious safety issues concerning them, so read
Warnings Concerning the Lithium Polymer Battery Pack in Appendix.
A picture of a battery (or a plug, when charging or running on AC power) is
shown on many of MC6's views. The "content" of the battery corresponds to the
approximated charge level of MC6's rechargeable batteries. See also chapter
LED on page 11. The maximum operating time of the batteries without recharg-
ing varies depending on the usage of the display back light. The usage of the
24 V transmitter supply also affects the maximum operating time. Even with
constant maximum load, the standard rechargeable batteries should last for 10
hours. A good average operating time is 16 hours.

Notes.
A time approximate (hh:mm) is shown on the battery symbol.
During charging it is the charging time left, otherwise it is re-
maining usage time.
MC6's internal clock/calendar uses a small amount of power
even when the calibrator is switched off. Remember to check
the capacity of the batteries from time to time although MC6 is
not in use. Recharge if needed.

tery/charging information.
ABOUT THE CHARGER AND THE CHARGING PROCEDURE
MC6 may be used while the batteries are charged. Charging time from empty to
full batteries is approximately 4 hours.
When charging the batteries, the battery symbol and a plug symbol alternate on
the status bar. When charging is ready, only the plug symbol is shown.
If MC6 is shut off and the charger is connected, a battery symbol appears. After
a while, an estimate of the remaining charge time appears below the battery
symbol.
Warning!
USE THE CHARGER PROVIDED WITH THE CALIBRATOR
ONLY. FURTHER WARNINGS PRESENTED IN CHAPTERS

TERY PACK AND
