If the SIDE BARS (only) flash AND other icons are lit and not flashing, 
this indicates the battery has requested to be fully charged and discharged 
in order to update its “learned capacity”.  This “learning” should typically 
occur during normal equipment operation. However, if the battery has not 
been fully charged and discharged for some time, this indication will 
appear. 
To remove the flashing SIDE BARS, fully charge the battery (STEADY 
GREEN indication) on the InterActive 2000 charger. Then either: 
(a)  Discharge the battery on a camera in normal operation 
continuing to keep the camera “hot” until it shuts down. Then 
return the battery to the charger. When the battery is full remove 
it from the charger. 
(b)  This can be done automatically with an InterActive2000 
PowerCharger with a DDM (Diagnostic Discharge Module, 
installed.  This unique feature is called “AUTOCAL” and is 
included as standard on QUAD 2702 and DUAL 2722 
PowerChargers. (Please reference the appropriate PowerCharger 
Owner’s Manual.) 
IMPORTANT NOTE: The flashing SIDE BARS indication is not a 
warning indication.  The battery will operate perfectly normal while 
awaiting a “learning” cycle. Rather than relying on an “assumed” capacity, 
as with some imitation fuel gauges, the HyTRON battery relies on the 
Digital Battery electronics to update capacity information as the battery 
sees different operating conditions and ages normally. The flashing bars 
are merely an indication that the battery has not updated this information 
for some time and is requesting a confirmation of its “learned” capacity.
