52 Chapter 5
• Make sure that the DC power adaptor is connected correctly.
• Charge the battery using an external charger. The battery charges much quicker
when the OmniScan SX is not in use. However, the battery will charge very
slowly, if at all, if the power consumption is too high.
• Shut down the OmniScan SX and wait for it to cool. Battery charging is disabled
when the battery temperature or the system’s internal temperature is too high.
This status will be indicated on the battery status indicator (see Table 5 on page 39
for battery status indicator descriptions).
5.3 Battery Life Problems
The battery charge does not last as long as it used to.
Possible solutions
• Drain the battery completely before recharging it to extend its life.
• Recondition the battery once a month using an external battery charger. Although
the OmniScan SX lithium-ion battery does not suffer from the “memory effect”
commonly affecting other battery types, it should be reconditioned for optimum
efficiency (for details, see section 3.4.2.5 on page 41).
• Verify your current configuration. There may be an option or combination of
options that are causing the battery to drain too quickly. Such options could
include the brightness, voltage level, and acquisition rate.
