How to Wake Up the Battery

Waking Up the Battery With a Cadex SMart Two+ Charger
Revision A
Maintenance: Battery Maintenance
See "Storage Guidelines"
When the battery is stored for a long period of time without being
charged, it will eventually lose all of its charge and "fall asleep." When
the battery is "asleep," none of the LEDs on the battery will illuminate
when the battery's on/off button is pressed. You must "wake up" the
battery before you can use it again.
There are two methods to wake up the battery:
Outside of a monitor by using the Cadex SMart Two+ charger.
Inside a monitor that is connected to an AC power source.
NOTE
A deep discharged battery will require you to repeat the following
steps more than once before the battery will "wake up."
1. Insert the battery into the battery charger and wait for the RUN
LED light to illuminate (approximately three minutes).
2. If the RUN LED light does NOT illuminate, complete the following
steps:
a. Remove the battery from the battery charger.
b. Re-insert the battery into the battery charger and let the battery
trickle charge for two to three minutes while the FAIL LED
flashes. (If the RUN LED light illuminates, ignore it.)
c. Watch the battery charger LEDs and immediately remove the
battery from the battery charger when the FAIL LED stops
flashing AND remains illuminated, OR when both the RUN and
CONDITION LEDs flash.
d. Wait for one to two seconds, then re-insert the battery into the
battery charger. The RUN and CONDITION LEDs will flash for
five to ten seconds while the charger initializes the battery. If the
FAIL LED illuminates, remove the battery and re-insert it into
the battery charger.
e. Watch the battery charger LEDs. The RUN LED should stop
flashing and remain illuminated for approximately one minute
later the CONDITION LED should stop flashing. At this time,
the battery is awake and being charged.
