Battery Charging Modes
The built-in batteries may be charged using one of two
charging modes:
• Standard charging: This is the default mode used when
you connect a power source to the ProMark 700. The
batteries will be fully charged after about 8 hours of
charging. This is the recommended charging mode to
preserve the capacity of the batteries over time. Typically,
you will charge the batteries at the end of your work day
so that you will have a fully charged system the next
morning. (The ProMark 700 has a typical operating time
of 10 hours.)
• Fast charging: The ProMark 700 will switch from standard
to fast charging mode by briefly pressing the Power
button. The batteries will get charged in just 3 hours.
Fast charging should not be considered as the normal
charging mode, but rather as an emergency mode. Should
you run out of batteries while working in the field, then
you can select that mode to charge the batteries quickly,
for example from your vehicle’s battery (see also below).
NOTE: Reversing to standard charging mode when fast
charging is on can only be made by unplugging the power/
data cable and plugging it back.
Different power sources may be used, depending on where
you are when the batteries need to be re-charged:
• In the office, use the universal AC/DC adapter and the
power cable extension to charge the ProMark 700
batteries (see picture).
• In the field, use the vehicle cigarette lighter adapter and
power cable extension. Warning! Use this only with a 12V
vehicle!
