  • Causa
    The ubc ii has a component which may fail prematurely due to a manufacturing defect. if the component fails, the charger’s firmware recognises the malfunction and prevents batteries from being charged. the blue led on the front of the charger will flash to indicate that the device must be sent in for repair, in accordance with the user’s manual. when component failure occurs, the device firmware causes the ubc ii to enter “safe mode” which prevents the batteries from charging; this could potentially lead to a surgical delay.
  • Acción
