12. Charging and exploitation of the batteries
DRAMIŃSKI battery pack is an ecient Li-Ion pack for multiple charging.
The lifetime of the battery pack depends on the way it is used. It is best when it works full cycles, i.e. full charging
– full discharging. The battery is charging while the scanner is plugged to the mains. The blue diode around ON/
OFF button is twinkling during charging process.
BLUE ultrasound scanner has an indicator which shows a battery level. In the top right corner of the screen
there is a graphic indicator of the battery. A fully charged battery guarantees 2,5-hour of work of the ultrasound
scanner.
Monitoring the graphic indicator helps to assess the battery operating time:
1. When the color of the indicator changes from green to yellow it means that the battery will continue its
work for about 45 minutes.
2. When the color changes from yellow to red it means that the battery will work for about 10 minutes.
The "Low battery" message in the middle of the screen means that you have to charge the batteries. If the device
is still turned on, a full discharge takes place and the device turns o automatically.
