Powering the EPOCH 1000 Series 43
Only use the Olympus rechargeable Li-ion battery pack (PN: EPXT-BAT-L) with
an EPOCH 1000 Series instrument. Using any other battery can cause death or
serious personal injury as the result of the explosion while charging the battery.
A battery charge indicator is always present near the top right of the active instrument
display (see
Figure 2-4 on page 43). The battery charge indicator contains both a
visual level representation of the remaining battery life, but also provides a numeric
value of the remaining percentage of battery life on the unit. The battery charge
indicator is accurate after 5 to 10 minutes of use.

Battery Operating Time
Battery operating time depends on the age and manufacturer of the battery being
used, the instrument mode (conventional or phased array), and on the instrument
settings. To provide realistic battery operating times, the EPOCH
1000 Series
instruments were tested with mid-level parameters in each mode. The resulting
battery operating times are:
• Conventional UT Mode: 8 to 9 hours
• Phased Array Imaging Mode: 7 to 8 hours
The battery may need several complete charge/discharge cycles to reach full
capacity. This conditioning process is normal for these types of rechargeable
batteries.
