Why doesn my Pronto battery indicator read “Full”, even though the charging light on the docking station is off?
This is a common problem with Pronto TSU2000s used with the DS1000 docking station. Since the battery indicator on the Pronto was designed to work with non-rechargeable alkaline batteries, it will seldom if ever read “Full” with the rechargeable NiMh battery. However, if the battery is not properly seated in the Pronto, it will not charge adequately, and will consistently read below 1/2 Full. To ensure that your battery is charging properly, follow these steps when inserting the battery: • Before inserting the battery, clean the outer contacts on the battery with an eraser. • Align the battery with the 4 springs in the rear and seat them into the recesses in the battery. • Press the battery back against the springs to compress them as much as possible. • Rotate the battery so it is as horizontal as possible before finally inserting it into the battery bay, taking care not to bend any of the contacts in the bay, and lining up the plastic tab on the battery with the slot in the Pronto. •
