Operation
Initialization & voltage display:
After connecting the lamp to the battery, the software runs a selftest; the
lamp itself as well as the red and blue LEDs in the switch light up once
The
battery voltage
The blue LED flashes once for each volt; and then
the red LED flashes once for each 1/10 of a volt.
To display the battery voltage again, unplug the light from the battery
and then plug it in again.
Example:
The blue LED flashes seven times and the red LED then
flashes five times; this means that the measured voltage under load
is 7.5 V.
This display helps you assess the actual state of the battery
prior to use.
Interpreting the voltage display:
battery is fully charged:
battery needs charging or is old:
battery is not ready for use:
Note:
To deactivate this display, simply press the button. In other
words, you needn't let the display go through its whole cycle in order
to use the lamp.
The control electronics measures the voltage under load.
Thus, measurements using a voltmeter will not be comparable.
