Turning On Your System
After installing the battery pack, be sure to let the battery fully
charge before using your system for the first time. The battery
LED will be green when the battery is fully charged. Once the
battery is fully charged, go ahead and open your system and
push the power button. Hold the button down for one second
to turn on the system.
Note: Be sure to wait one to two seconds before pressing the power button again. If
you don’t, the power button may not respond.

Battery Pack Life
Battery life greatly depends on how you use and configure your
system. Battery life can be extended, however, by:
• Operating the system at a slower speed
• Operating the system on external power whenever possible
• Setting the LCD brightness to “Half” level at the SETUP program
• Setting Power Management features to a lower time interval
• Operate your Meridian in cooler temperatures
See Chapter 5, Using SETUP, to learn how to set the power
management features.
