3.1.3 Battery Charging
To fully charge the battery with the SKYHUNTER switched off, connect the mains
adapter to the external power supply input
adapter to the mains. The charging process starts automatically. The instrument will
emit an acoustic indication and the display will show the battery voltage level, the
charge percentage and how long the battery has been charging.
When a charging process is carried out within the allowed temperature margin with
the equipment switch off, it appears on the display the previous indications, in opposite
case is shown the message "please wait...", and the process stops when activating the
heat-protection circuit. If after some minutes the message does not disappear from
screen, is advisable to disconnect the mains adapter for two or three minutes before
connecting it to the equipment again. The charging process would have to begin
normally.
When charging is completed, the instrument is automatically disconnected while
you hear two acoustic indications and the display will show how long the battery has
been charging. In the case of charging process stops due to heat-protection activation,
this one will be started again automatically when the internal temperature returns to the
allowed margin for a normal battery charging.
Charging time depends on the state of the battery. If the battery is very flat,
charging will be some 70 minutes (40 minutes to achieve 60% total capacity). When the
battery is fully charged, the instrument automatically disconnects.
Due to the battery technology the reading of charge percetage will not be correct until
after about 5 minutes of beginning the charging process.
When starting the battery charging process and when using the instrument for a long
period of time, a heating of the instrument can be observed. This heating is normal in
the power margin that must be dissipated, according to the battery charge status and
the LNB consumption.
