SECTION 2: MACRODUCT ADVANCED SYSTEM SETUP
2.2 Charging the Battery
For safety, the device is shipped from the factory with the battery partially charged and in
shipping mode. At first use, the device must be plugged into the battery charging power supply
before the device can power on. Until the battery gets fully charged for the first time, the battery
charge level indicators will be inaccurate. Therefore, it is recommended to fully charge the battery
until the amber LED stops blinking before operating the device. Charging a completely drained
battery takes approximately 4 hours.
NOTE: When the battery charge is low, charging for approximately 20 minutes should provide
enough battery life to run a typical test.
WARNING!
If the device has been recently subjected to low temperatures below 0 °C or high temperatures
above 40 °C, let the device sit at room temperature for two hours before charging the battery.
WARNING!
The electrode cable assembly should not be attached to a patient while the battery is being
charged.
CAUTION:
Only use the ELITechGroup provided battery charging power supply and power cord to charge
the battery.
1. Connect the AC power cord to the battery charging power supply.
2. Plug the AC power cord into a 100 VAC to 240 VAC power source.
3. Connect the cable from the battery charging power supply into the DC power connector
on the Macroduct Advanced top panel.
4. When DC power is connected, the device powers on and runs through an initialization
process (unless it is already on). A battery charging screen displays the battery charging
icon and the battery charge level for approximately 10 seconds and then the display turns
off. To observe the battery charge screen, press the power switch for 1-2 seconds.
