Charging the Batteries
Charge the batteries before the system is used for the first time.
1. Plug the AC adapter into an electrical service outlet.
2. Connect the AC adapter cord to the power connector on the rear of the instrument.
3. Allow the battery to charge for at least eight hours.
Note: The AC Adapter can remain connected all the time.
4. To ensure adequate charge, leave the instrument connected to the AC adapter for
a minimum of eight hours. This eliminates the risk of the instrument powering
down during a test.
Fully charged batteries will allow the ITC AVOXimeter 1000E to analyze blood samples
continuously for up to 8 hours when the display is set at medium brightness.
Battery power can be conserved by:
● Reducing (or turning off) display backlighting (see page 15).
● Reducing the standby delay (see page 17).
Note: The batteries can suffer from a “memory effect” if they are charged before being completely
discharged. For optimal battery performance, discharge completely when possible before
charging them. The message “Battery Critical – Connect Charger” will be displayed when
the battery is completely discharged.
The message “Battery Critical – Connect Charger” is displayed and the instrument reverts to
the standby mode if the battery power is insufficient to complete the test. The AC Adapter must
be used for additional tests until the battery is recharged.
Checking the Battery:
1. Display the “Time, Date, and Battery” menu (a submenu of , see page 8).
2. Press followed by to display the battery status:
