Battery Refresh
Nickel Metal Hydride batteries can experience a decrease in charging capacity if repeated
cycles of short-time use and recharging are carried out.This phenomenon is called the
"memory effect". The battery refresh function is used to resolve this phenomenon.
1. Turn the power off.
2. Connect the AC adapter and check that the AC-IN lamp lights (see chapter 6.5.1.
Connecting AC adapter).
3. Hold down the POWER key for more than 2 seconds, while pressing the REV key.
4. A sound appears for a length of time, and the refresh mode is activated. At this time, the
CHRG lamp flashes slowly.
5. The battery is discharged and recharged automatically. This process will require
approximately 10 hours.
6. Hold down the POWER key for more than 2 seconds if you want to stop this process.
NOTES
• This function is not activated unless the device is powered by the AC adapter.
This function is not required for each charging. This function should be used if the
•
operating time is shortened even if the battery is relatively new.
Do not repeat the battery refresh function in a short period of time. It may result in
•
enhancement of the memory effect.
This function is an effective solution of the "memory effect" phenomenon. However, it
•
cannot be solved completely at one time due to the battery characteristics. We recommend
you to repeat this process a few times.
6.10. Displaying the Software Version
1. Turn the power on and select a continous rotary file system.
2. Hold down the + and – TORQUE keys simultaneously for more than 2 seconds.
• The display will indicate the device software version, for example:
• The display then returns to the first system of the file library.
