The Phoenix will automatically turn itself off after 5 minutes of inactivity at the startup

Power Button is activated while the tool is in storage. If this occurs, the Phoenix will
display a notification on the next power up in order to alert you of any possible issues
while in storage. Simply tap the notification message to clear it from the screen. After
entering a valid PIN code to log into the machine the notification will be erased and no
longer display at startup.
Charging / Battery Life
The Phoenix is equipped with a replaceable 3-cell lithium ion battery module that delivers
exceptional runtime (6-10 hrs), extended battery life (18-24mo) and high current
capacity comparable to that of the previous models high wattage A/C power adapter. A
battery level indicator is displayed in the lower right corner of the screen during normal
operation allowing you to quickly gauge the state of charge and USB connection status.
FULL , OK , LOW , CRITICAL , USB
The Phoenix is charged by plugging the included A/C charger into the charger/power
port located at the bottom of the tool. You can choose between two different charging
methods - Quick Charge and Smart Charge. Quick Charge is designed to maximize the
total battery run time by allowing the battery module to charge to 120% of normal
capacity at the expense of overall battery life. Smart Charge is designed to maximize
the overall battery life while still offering an acceptable 6-10 hours of run time per
charge.
Quick Charge
To Quick Charge the Phoenix simply plug the included charger into the tool’s
charging/power port while the tool is powered off. The charge level will reach 100% as
quickly as possible but the extra 20% of charge will require an overnight charge cycle at
a reduced charging rate for avoid overly stressing the battery cells.
