Maintaining and Repairing the Neptune Handheld System
N_SIGHT R900 User’s Manual for the Neptune Handheld System 9-5
Recharging the Battery
The CE5320 uses a high-quality, lithium ion battery. It can be recharged
more than 500 times. When used under normal conditions, the battery
should last about 24 months, although its life is reduced by repeated or
prolonged total discharges.
Follow this procedure to recharge the battery.
1 Make sure that the communication cradle, router
, or Ethernet cables
are connected as described
in Chapter 3.
2 Place the CE5320 in a communication cradle.
3 Check the battery indicator in the bottom right corner of the
CE5320 to see if the uni
t is charged. Refer to the following list to
recharge the battery.
• Red—the battery is low. Recharge the battery by allowing the
CE5320 to remain in
the cradle until the indicator turns green.
If the CE5320 has been used under normal conditions, recharg-
ing usually takes about three hours.
• Gr
een—the battery
is fully charged. Remove the CE5320 from
the cradle.
• Yellow—the temperature of
the battery is too high or too low
to be recharged. When this occurs, the charging system is dis-
abled. Wait for the battery of the CE5320 to reach a tempera-
ture of 0ºC to 45ºC (32ºF to 113ºF).
Then, place the CE5320 in
the cradle. The battery indicator should no
w turn red.
Calibrating the CE5320 Battery
When the handheld first arrives from the factory, the battery must be
fully charged before use. The battery in the CE5320 has been cal
ibrated
at the factory; however, you may want to periodically calibrate the
battery to maintain the accuracy of battery status indicators. Neptune
recommends calibrating the battery if the battery is deeply discharged, if
it is replaced with a new battery, or once every three months.
Do not attempt to recharge the battery if the CE5320 is not within a
temperature of 0ºC to 45ºC (32ºF to 113ºF). Doing so can damage the battery.
