Charging the eKEY Batteries
Each night the eKEY batteries are automatically charged when you
place the Key on the eSYNC Cradle before midnight. The Key is
recharged and updated during the nightly eSYNC for use the next
day.
The Key displays a warning message if the batteries get low. When
you see this message, immediately place your eKEY on the eSYNC
Cradle to recharge it.

the eSYNC Cradle and charge it for at least four hours. This
ensures that the Key is fully charged and ready for use. The
batteries cannot be overcharged.
Battery considerations
Please note the following battery considerations:
! Under normal conditions, the batteries charge when you place the
eKEY on the Cradle each day. Conserve battery life by minimizing
the use of the backlight feature, and changing the Auto-off setting
that automatically turns the eKEY off after a period of inactivity.
! If the batteries drain so much that the eKEY cannot operate, it
stores your data safely for about a week. Data is storedin your Key
during this period but there is not enough residual energy
remaining in the batteries to turn on your eKEY. If your eKEYdoes
notturnonwhenyoupressthepowerbutton,rechargetheunit
immediately.
! If you leave the eKEYinanunchargedstateforanextendedperiod
of time, you may lose all the data stored in your Key.
! There are no serviceable parts inside your eKEY. You never need
to replace the batteries.
