We recommend manually discharging the DataRecorder 2 battery once
every three months, even if the DataRecorder 2 is not used. This will
prevent the DataRecorder 2 from discharging automatically at an
inconvenient time, since the discharge is an overnight process that may
take up to 12 hours.

As soon as the DataRecorder 2 or its Battery Pack are fully charged, the green LED turns on,
and the Orange LED turns off. Leave the DataRecorder 2 in its Cradle until the next
examination.
Note
You can check the status of the DataRecorder 2 by pushing the button on the
back of the DataRecorder 2 momentarily. All 4 LEDs must be lit before an
