WHEN TO CHARGE BATTERIES (FIGURE 10)
It is advantageous to recharge frequently rather than only when necessary. In fact, a battery’s life is extended if the charge level is maintained well above a low condition.
BATTERY DISCHARGE INDICATOR (BDI) is located at the front of the joystick housing and provides information on the remaining charge in the batteries. At FULL charge the BDI will be GREEN. As the battery becomes dis- charged, the BDI indicator will turn AMBER (YELLOW), thenREDandfinallyFLASHINGRED.IftheBDIisFLASH- ING RED, the user should charge the batteries as soon as possible.
NOTE: Accurate readings are displayed when in neutral.
