Chapter 4 Operation of the instrument
The operating steps not directly relating to the therapy are described in the following paragraphs.
4.1 Mains and Battery Operation
Two IONOSON-Basic models are available:
• for mains operation only
• for mains- or battery operation
With battery operation, the battery has to be fully charged before operating it for the first time.
How to Charge the Battery
(1) Insert the supplied mains connector cable into the Mains socket <7> on the rear side of the instru-
ment.
(2) Switch on the mains switch at the Mains socket <7> and the Power switch <8>.
(3) The batteries are charged. When the batteries are completely discharged, the charging procedure will
take approx. 12 hours. The charging status of the batteries is displayed in the lower status bar:
Instrument connected to mains; charging
Instrument not connected to mains; battery operation only
Battery fully charged
Important
In order to ensure a long battery life, the batteries must be charged completely when first
charged. The first charging procedure should not be interrupted!
If the unit is not used for a longer period of time, please fully charge the battery every three
months. This will help to avoid exhaustive discharge.
4.1.1 Notes on Handling the Batteries
If battery capacity is very low during operation, the 3-step warning system is activated:
(a) The charging status symbol flashes.
(b) An acoustic signal sounds every second and the charging status symbol flashes. The intensity is re-
duced prematurely.
(c) The instrument shuts down to avoid complete discharging of the batteries.
In this case, recharge the battery, as described in section How to Charge the Battery on page 38. While
the battery is being charge, you can continue using the instrument in mains operation.
