2.6.1 The battery
The OtoRead
TM
instrument is powered by an integrated rechargeable lithium-ion battery (1800 mAh)
providing 20 hours (500 tests, minimum) of operation between full charging.
The battery can be charged in three ways:
1. While placed in the powered cradle
2. When connected via USB cable to the PC
3. When connected via the USB mains power adapter
Please note that the battery life will vary depending on each product configuration and that the maximum
capacity of this battery will decrease with time and usage. To prolong the battery life, do not completely
deplete the battery, but re-charge when 5 %-10 % of the battery charge remains.
The Micro-USB port on the bottom of the instrument is
the connection point for the USB used for charging via
the USB cable to PC or mains
The blue battery indicator provides a visual indication
(blue) of the battery recharging function and battery
status during operation.
2.6.2 Battery charging indication lights
During battery charging the indicator will be lit whenever the
Micro-USB connector is engaged and powered. The rate of
illumination of the indicator provides a means of identifying
the status of the charging function, and is defined as follows:
• Steady-state illumination indicates that the battery is
fully charged. This identifies that the charging cycle has
been completed or was not implemented because the
battery was already fully charged.
• Slow blinking illumination indicates that the charging
function is in process.
• Fast blinking illumination indicates a fault condition.
Contact your local distributor for instrument service.
• During instrument operation, the user is warned of a low
battery condition by two fast blinks followed by a
pause which is repeated until the battery is charged.
