Basic Operation 41
When the OmniScan SX is connected to a proper DC power source and is
turned off, it will automatically recharge the battery.
The power indicator light flashes orange to indicate that the battery is
currently being recharged. When the charge is complete, the power indicator
light emits a steady orange light. The battery can take up to 3 hours to fully
charge from a completely discharged state (less than 5 % remaining charge).
• When the OmniScan SX is running:
When the OmniScan SX is running and connected to a proper DC power
source, it will automatically recharge the battery. The indicator for the battery
is green.
Because the OmniScan SX is running, less power is available from the DC
source to recharge the battery. As such, it could take a minimum of 8 hours to
charge a completely discharged battery. For more information about battery
charge status, see Table 5 on page 39.
• When the OmniScan SX is in sleep mode:
When the OmniScan SX is in sleep mode and connected to a proper DC
power source, it will automatically recharge the battery. The indicator for the
battery flashes green and orange. When the charge is complete, the power
indicator light flashes green.

Storage instructions for rechargeable batteries
1. Before recharging, drain the battery by running the OmniScan SX on battery
power until it shuts down, or until you get a low-battery warning. Do not leave
the battery dormant for long periods of time. Olympus recommends using the
battery at least once every two to three weeks. If a battery has not been used for a
long period of time, perform the “New battery procedure” on page 42.
If you do not plan to use the OmniScan SX on battery power within three or more
weeks, charge the battery to between 40 % and 80 % capacity (three or four bars
on the battery charge indicator), and then remove and store the battery in a clean,
cool, and dry place.
