4. To check the status of the PillCam recorder before an examination, remove it from the cradle and push
the button on the back.
Manual Discharge
If the cradle detects that the battery needs refreshing, it automatically discharges the battery before
recharging it. The orange LED on the cradle blinks during discharging. Discharging is an overnight
process that may take up to 12 hours.
We recommend that you manually discharge the battery every three months, even if it is not used.
To discharge the battery:
1. Open RAPID.
2. Make sure the appropriate battery is inside the PillCam recorder.
3. Insert the PillCam recorder into the cradle.
4. From the Procedures screen, select the relevant PillCam recorder by clicking the Recorder bar.
The buttons on the right side of the screen become available.
5. Click to open the Recorder Information screen.
6. At the bottom of the screen, click Start Discharge.
A message appears: Recorder discharge may take more than 12 hours. Do you wish to continue?
7. Click OK.
While the battery is being discharged, its battery status indicates Discharging:
• In the bottom left corner of the Recorder Information screen.
• In the PillCam recorder DR2 bar in the Recorders screen.
• The orange LED on the cradle blinks.
8. To return to other RAPID functions, click Close.
9. If you need to stop the discharge (also for automatic discharge) while it is in progress, return to the
Recorder Information screen and click Cancel Discharge.
If you stop the automatic discharge process in the middle, the battery LEDs may not indicate the
correct battery status.
