Battery Indicators
Hot-Swapping Batteries
You can remove the batteries in the Ectane 2 one at a time, when the instrument
is turned on. Normally, the Ectane 2 can run on only one battery.
Should the power left in the remaining battery be insufficient to keep the Ectane 2
running, the instrument will shut down without damaging electronic components.
However, all the work in progress in Magnifi (acquisition, etc.) is lost.
Battery Indicators
Each battery has its own charge level indicator, and charging status indicator. For
details about which charge level indicator relates to what battery, see “Battery
Indicators” on page 16.
