Use only the batttery charger/power supply unit supplied for mains operation. Connect the power supply unit to the voltage supply socket on the right side of the receiver.
If the receiver is not used for long periods, connect the receiver to the mains supply now and then (maintenance charging).
Make sure that the power supply unit is not connected to the receiver if it is not to be used to supply voltage as otherwise the battery will be discharged.
Battery operation
Battery operation is only possible if the battery is sufficiently charged.
Otherwise the MSK 24 cannot be switched on.
If the battery has been fully discharged, recharge it immediately as otherwise it may be damaged or destroyed.
Charging begins automatically as soon as the receiver has been connected to the mains supply. A protective circuit prevents the battery from being overcharged.
The capacity of the battery is displayed for approx. 3 seconds after the receiver has been switched on.
With a charged battery the maximum period of operation is approx. 2.5 hours for an LNB supply current of 150 mA.
