SECTION 5: TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE
5.5 Batteries, Charging and Calibration
Primary (Non-rechargeable) Battery
The Macroduct Advanced has an internal lithium coin cell battery to power the internal clock.
Estimated life of this battery is greater than five years. When this battery is discharged, the
date/time will not be maintained through power cycles and the battery must be replaced by
qualified service personnel. Refer to Replacing the Batteries later in this section.
Secondary (Rechargeable) Battery
The Macroduct Advanced is powered by a main battery consisting of lithium-ion cells. A battery
indicator reports the charge status to the operator. When new, a fully-charged battery should
adequately power the device for several tests. The number of possible tests will vary based on
factors such as the total time it takes to perform each test, the display brightness setting, and
whether or not Power Save is enabled.
The Battery Indicator appears in the bottom left-hand corner of the display. Just below , the
approximate % of remaining battery charge is displayed.
Normally, the device is not connected to the battery charging power supply and the following
conditions are monitored:
• Battery charge level displays, along with the % of charge remaining.
• When the battery charge level is low, the color of the battery indicator changes to red.
• Do not start iontophoresis if the battery indicator is red.
While the device is connected to the battery charging power supply, the following conditions are
controlled:
• Iontophoresis related circuitry is electromechanically disabled. In addition, software
prevents using the device.
• The device is in charging mode only.
• While charging, the amber LED on the power on/off switch blinks. When charging is
complete, the amber LED stops blinking and remains on for as long as the power supply is
connected.
NOTE: Only charge the battery while the device is within the operating temperature range (15 °C
to 30 °C).
