Automatic shutdown In case of a Download Lockout (see page 161) or if the
battery pack is critically low (see page 171), wireless
communication and all other functionalities are shut
down (although date and time are maintained).
The meter can be configured to automatically shut down
30 minutes after power-off when it is NOT docked. This
feature is enabled by default. However, with this config-
urable automatic shutdown feature, the meter will auto-
matically wake up on a regular basis for wireless
communication. The setting for this wake-up timer is
configurable (see Appendix A.1, “Table of configuration
options”).
If you configure the meter to wake up more often from
shutdown for wireless communication (if WLAN is ena-
bled and the meter is not docked), more power will be
drawn from the battery pack and the meter will need to
be recharged more frequently. If you choose to leave the
meter in shutdown until you power it up manually or opt
for longer time intervals between waking up for wireless
communication, the battery will last longer but synchroni-
zation with the DMS may also take longer. In this case
however, the meter’s database will probably need to be
synchronized before you can start testing.
Which option you choose will be determined by the work-
flow needs of your institution.
Battery Pack The meter contains a rechargeable battery pack that
begins charging as soon as it is placed in an active base
unit (i.e., one connected to a power supply).
NOTICE
Use only the specially designed battery pack provided by
Roche Diagnostics
. Using any other type of battery may
damage the system.
