Battery Information  A fully charged battery should operate the power unit continuously for at least 24 hours.  Charge status is shown on the display of the power unit when it is in stand-by and run mode.  As the batteries are automatically charged as required when the system is operating on mains power, the battery module should not require removing or changing in normal use. 9

Battery Information (continued)  Use only the mains cable or optional vehicle adaptor supplied with the system.  When power unit operation times are noticeably shorter than normal, it is time to replace the battery pack.  Never use any battery pack that is damaged or worn out. Use the battery pack only for its intended purpose.  For VENTURI™ AVANTI only: Because it is removable, the battery pack is short circuit protected. Accidental short circuiting can occur when a metal object (coin, clip or pen etc.) causes direct connection of the gold contacts on the side of the battery pack), for example when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. If the battery does become short-circuited the internal resettable fuse will reconnect the circuit after about 30 seconds.  For VENTURI™ AVANTI only: Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and lifetime of the battery pack. Always try to keep the battery between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). The capacity is particularly limited at temperatures below -10°C (14°F).  Do not dispose of the battery pack in a fire, or in municipal waste. It should be recycled, disposed of properly or returned to your dealer for disposal in accordance with the WEEE directive.  The battery pack is not serviceable and should be replaced if faulty (indicated by 'O/C Batt' fault displayed in place of battery charge status icon).

CHARGING THE BATTERY If not fully charged, the battery will automatically charge when the power unit is plugged into mains power. The battery will charge at the optimum level depending on history of previous mains power usage and charging over the previous week.
