If the INTERACTIVE segment flashes, this indicates the battery has
requested to be fully charged and discharged in order to update its
“learned capacity”. This “learning” or “calibration” should typically
occur during normal equipment operation. However, if the battery has not
been fully charged and discharged for some time, this indication will
appear.

To remove the flashing INTERACTIVE segment, fully charge the battery
(STEADY GREEN indication) on the InterActive 2000 charger. Then
either:

(a) Discharge the battery on a camera in normal operation continuing to

keep the camera “hot” until it shuts down. Then return the battery to
the charger. When the battery is full remove it from the charger.

(b) This can be done automatically with an InterActive2000

PowerCharger with a DDM (Diagnostic Discharge Module installed.
This unique feature is called “AUTOCAL” and is included as
standard on the DUAL 2702 and QUAD 2702 PowerChargers.
(Please reference the appropriate PowerCharger Owner’s Manual.)

IMPORTANT NOTE: The flashing INTERACTIVE segment indication is

not a warning indication. The battery will operate
perfectly normal while awaiting a “learning” cycle.
Rather than relying on an “assumed” capacity, as with
some imitation fuel gauges, the battery relies on the
Digital Battery electronics to update capacity information
as the battery sees different operating conditions and ages
normally. The flashing INTERACTIVE segment is
merely an indication that the battery has not updated this
information for some time and is requesting a
confirmation of its “learned” capacity.
