ATTENTION
The re-chargeable memory battery may be in a discharged state when the
generator is new or has not been used for some time.
Operating the generator for at least one hour should provide up to 24 hours of
memory. Longer periods of use enable the battery to be fully charged which can
extend the memory period up to 4 weeks.
If the channel indicators do not operate correctly when first switched on, this may
indicate that the battery is in a discharged state. To reset the indicators use the
channel up/down buttons on the ESTIME 3000 SC or the ‘all up’ or ‘all down’
buttons on the ESTIME 3000 AMF until normal operation is obtained.
(See Memory section of operating instructions).
