a repeating alarm tone and transmit man-down alarm
messages. Motion Alarm can be enabled/disabled and
the timing can be adjusted in the Setup Menu. To clear

Low Battery Indication / Battery Charging

When approximately 3 hours of operating time

remain in standby mode, the SuperCELL® will display a
plug icon on the display status screen. The power-on
tones are not emitted when SuperCELL® has a low
battery. Low battery is also indicated by the
Operational Status LED changing to a periodic Red
strobe. A double chirp sounds once every  ve minutes
with audio enabled. Warning: There are no audible low

battery sounds with audio tones disabled.

When low battery is indicated, less than 3 hours of

operating time remain and the battery should be charged
immediately.

With the charger provided, recharge time is

approximately 6 hours from a low battery warning
and 9 hours for a dead battery. Due to current limits
imposed by Intrinsic Safety requirements, a unit that has
gone completely dead will have to be removed from the
charging base and reinserted when the charging light
turns Red. Typical operation time between recharging
is approximately 40 hours in standby/ready mode.

Plug the charger into an outlet. It takes approximately

20 seconds for the Green charger LED to light up. If it
does not turn on or a Red LED turns on, then the bat­tery is either too hot or cold, or has a fault.

Charging is complete when the Green charge LED

starts to slowly  ash.

NOTE: If an alarm has been received, the SuperCELL® will
not turn o until the alarm has been cleared or reset. To
force SuperCELL® to turn o (even with an active alarm)
hold down the Up button along with both side PWR
buttons.
