Seeker & Seeker MCA III Operation Manual
About Your Seeker’s Battery
Overview
• The Seeker uses a Lithium-Ion battery. The battery is charged during manufacture
and should be ready to use as long as it has not been stored for a long period of
time.
• Lithium-Ion batteries operate differently than Nickel-Cadmium batteries. They
should be charged daily, and should not be deeply discharged as this could damage
the battery. There is no memory effect and concerns about charging too soon or
with little use are unwarranted.
If Your Seeker Does Not Turn On
• A very low battery may cause the Seeker not to turn on. Try charging the battery for
afewminutestoseeifthatxestheproblem.
Checking the Battery Level
• To check the battery level, turn your Seeker on and press the SELECT button once.
The BatteryiconwillashtoshowyouareintheBatteryChargeLeveldisplay.The
bar graph at the bottom of the display shows the amount of battery charge available.
As long as there are at least a few bars left, your Seeker has enough charge to
operate. If the battery meter shows less than 50%, the Seeker should be placed on
the charger.
• If the battery icon appears while in any of the other menus, this is a warning that the
battery is getting low and needs to be recharged soon.
• When the battery is too low for your Seeker to function, the
screen shown to the right will appear.
• Typical operating time from a full battery charge is eight
hours.
All spent batteries should be disposed of according to local
laws and guidelines.
