SECTION 6—OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Battery Time Management
Time away from home is almost limitless by combining the
use of the AC power supply, DC power supply and the XPO2
batteries. To ensure the batteries maintain their optimal
charge level, utilize the AC power supply whenever you have
access to electric power. Utilize the DC power supply whenever you are in a vehicle.
Prolonging XPO2 Battery Life
NOTE: For this procedure, refer to FIGURE 6.6.
Do’s
•When you first receive your XPO2, fully charge the internal battery (and supplemental external battery if provided) overnight.
•Keep your batteries fully charged when using the XPO2 regularly.
•Your XPO2 and supplemental external battery can be recharged at any time. These batteries can have their charge “topped off” at any time.
•Always ensure the XPO2 internal and supplemental external batteries are recharged as soon as possible after they become fully discharged. The batteries may be permanently degraded if left fully discharged for an extended length of time.
•Check the status of your XPO2 internal and supplemental external battery once a month if you are not using your XPO2 regularly. Both batteries should be maintained at 2 illuminated bars worth of charge.
•Heat is the worst enemy of a battery. Allow plenty of air to circulate around the XPO2 so that the battery is kept as cool as possible when charging and also when in use.
