First Use
To condition a new sealed lead acid battery and optimize its performance, plug
in the monitor; the internal battery pack then charges automatically. Before the
V100 Monitor is used for the first time, the battery should be charged in the
monitor for at least 8 hours. With external DC power connected, the green
CHARGING indicator will light to indicate that the battery is charging. Prior to
first use and after 8 hours of charging, be sure the BATTERY OK indicator is
backlit green when the charger is not connected and the monitor is on.
Battery Charging
Prior to each use, inspect the power supply cord to ensure proper connection
and condition.
With external DC power connected, the green CHARGING indicator will light to
indicate that the battery is charging. This indicator remains active whether the
unit is on or off. An audible "two beep" sounds whenever the DC charger is
connected/disconnected.
