Charging Spare Batteries
See Chapter 2, Accessories for information on using accessories to change spare batteries.
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). Charging is intelligently controlled by the
MC45.
To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the MC45 or accessory alternately enables and disables battery
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The MC45 or accessory indicates when charging is
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See Table 1-1.
Powering On the MC45
Press the Power button to turn on the MC45. If the MC45 does not power on perform a reset. See Resetting
the MC45 on page 1-8.
When turning the MC45 on for the first time, the splash screen displays for about a minute as the MC45
initializes its flash file system, then the calibration window appears. Note that these windows also appear upon
reset.
Calibrating the Screen
To calibrate the screen so the cursor on the touch screen aligns with the tip of the stylus:
1. Remove the stylus from its holder on the back of the MC45.
2. Tap the screen to begin calibration.
3. Carefully press and briefly hold the tip of stylus on the center of each target that appears on the screen.
4. Repeat as the target moves around the screen.
