3 Indicators, Controls and Connectors
Refer to Figure 1 in Section 2 for location of the items identified below.
Display Panel
The display panel is located on the front of xPower300,
directly below its carrying handle. Located on the display
panel, you will find xPower300s DC Power Socket, the Charger
Input Socket, a Recharge Status Indicator light, and a Battery
Level Indicator that is actuated by the Battery Status Button.
Battery Level Indicator
The Battery Level Indicator shows the state of charge of
xPower300s battery. Its function is similar to the fuel gauge in
a car. When pressing and holding the Battery Status Button,
one or more of the displays four lights will illuminate,
showing the approximate amount of charge remaining in the
battery. Figure 2 shows the function of each light:
When the battery is fully charged, all four
lights will illuminate. When discharged
(empty), only the red light will illuminate
and the battery must be recharged
promptly. Figure 2 shows the battery is
approximately ¾ full.
Battery condition is indicated most
accurately when the battery has been
unused for 15 minutes. Pressing the
Battery Status Button while supplying power to an AC
product may result in false battery level reading.
Recharge Indicator
The Recharge Indicator operates only when the battery is
being recharged through the Charger Input Socket. It will not
operate when other charging methods are used. When
charging the battery with the AC Charger, this light will glow
amber, then change to green when the battery is fully charged.
Once fully charged, the charging circuitry automatically
switches into its charge maintenance mode.
