If the receiver is not used for long periods, connect the receiver to the mains supply now and then (maintenance charging).
Make sure that the power supply unit is not connected to the receiver if it is not to be used to supply voltage as otherwise the battery will be discharged.

The capacity of the battery is displayed for approx. 3 seconds after the receiver has been switched on.
With a charged battery the maximum period of operation is approx. 2.5 hours for an LNB supply current of 150 mA.
