    Perform a calibration. When the Operational Check test results
    state Calibration recommended, or every
    6 months.
    Store batteries in a state of When not in use for an extended period
    charge in the range of 20% - of time
    30%.
    Discard the battery. When there are visual signs of damage
    or calibration reports less than 70%
    capacity.
    Charging Batteries
    • Charge in either the MRx or a Philips approved
    battery support system.
    • When charging in the MRx, use either AC or DC
    power.
    • The External Power indicator is lit when the MRx
    is charging.
    • It takes approximately 2 hours to charge a fully
    discharged battery to 80% of its capacity in the
    MRx; 3 hours to 100%.
    Charge Status
    Check the batteries charge by:
    • Pushing the battery fuel gauge button. Each LED
    represents a charge of approximately 20%
    capacity.
    • Turning the Therapy Knob to any mode of
    operation and observing the battery power
    indicators displayed in the General Status area.
    Battery Calibration
    • Checks to see if the battery is nearing its useful end of life
    and should be discarded.
    • Ensures the fuel gauge is accurate, based on the total
    capacity.
    • Performed by selecting Other from the Main menu, then
    Battery Calibration.
    • Takes approximately 11 hours in the MRx, significantly
    less in a battery a battery support system.
    • Discard the battery if the capacity is < 70%.
