Calibrating Batteries

To ensure that your batteries will perform to their full capacity for the longest

possible time, it is important to calibrate them at regular intervals.

Calibration consists of a standard battery charge followed by a deep discharge

and, finally, a complete charge. This procedure usually takes between 10 and 13

hours, whereas a standard charge takes about 3.5 hours.

This calibration can be performed simply by placing the batteries in the external

charger (optional) and pressing the Recalibrate button (See “Managing Batteries”

on page 19.) Eddyfi recommends calibrating your batteries at least once every six

months.

Troubleshooting

You cannot troubleshoot the Ectane without first connecting it to a workstation

running Magnifi

. Thus, troubleshooting tips are given in the Magnifi

documentation.

Firmware Corruption

In case of firmware corruption, you will need to start up the instrument from a

backup firmware. This procedure is explained in the Magnifi documentation, but

to locate the backup firmware button, see “Battery Compartment” on page 9.

CAUTION

During calibration, the charger may become warm.
