PowerFLARM Manual Version 1.0
PowerFLARM recognises the type of non-chargeable or
chargeable batteries that have been fitted and responds
accordingly.
Battery endurance depends upon the type of
battery, the incidence of traffic, and display
brightness.
The battery life remaining is indicated above the
battery symbol on the right upper corner of the traffic
display.
Battery Insertion
PowerFLARM has a battery compartment on the lower face, and
holds six AA batteries. The batteries are inserted by removing
the compartment lid. It is essential to ensure that the batteries
are inserted with the correct polarity, with no excessive
application of force on the battery compartment lid.
Rechargeable internal Batteries
PowerFLARM features an internal NiMH battery charger. When
the device is turned off and electrically connected to the vehicle
or aircraft battery (either via “Power” socket or power pins on
the RJ45 socket), inserted batteries will be charged if the
ambient temperature lies within the allowed range for charging
NiMH batteries.
If non-rechargeable batteries are fitted to the unit,
do not connect your PowerFLARM device to an
external power source (e.g. aircraft or vehicle
battery).
The internal batteries may only be charged if the unit is resting
on an inflammable, dry base. When the unit is being recharged,
never allow it to remain unsupervised.
