4 Charging
Important! | • Rechargeable batteries (those included or those you may buy later) are deli- |
| vered uncharged or partially charged. Therefore, you will need to charge each |
| new battery before using it. |
|
|
| Each charging slot features a tricolor STATUS LED that indicates the current operating sta- |
| tus of the respective charging slot (">…<" marks an LED flashing in the respective color): |

|
| 1. | Check that a rechargeable battery is inside the transmitter battery compartment. |
|
|
| Do not try to charge a dry battery. |
|
|
| If there is no battery inside the battery compartment, do not place the transmitter in a |
|
|
| charging slot before you inserted a rechargeable battery into the transmitter. |
|
| 2. | Make sure to switch the transmitter OFF before placing it in a charging slot. |
| Refer to fig. 2. |
| This is the only way to guarantee optimum charging. |
| 3. | Insert the transmitter into the charging slot so that the display on the transmitter faces | |
|
|
| the LEDs on the charger. The charger will automatically power the transmitter via the |
|
|
| charging contacts. |
|
| 4. | Never switch the transmitter ON during the charging cycle. This may cause the |
|
|
| charger to falsely indicate a completed charging cycle before charging is actu- |
|
|
| ally completed. |
|
|
|
|
Note: |
| If the transmitter has been switched ON by accident during the charging cycle, | |
|
| 1. Remove the transmitter from the charger. | |
|
|
| 2. Switch the transmitter OFF. |
|
|
| 3. Insert the transmitter into the charger. |

Charging Cycle
Table 2: Charging cycle
The charging cycle will start automatically as soon as you insert a transmitter with a rechargeable battery into the charger.
STATUS LED | Status |
|
|
orange | The voltage and temperature of the battery are being |
| checked. |
|
|
red | The battery is being charged. |
| Charging time is approx. 1.5 hours for a completely dis- |
| charged battery and proportionately less for a partially |
| discharged battery. |
| Charging two batteries simultaneously will extend the |
| charging time to 3 to 4 hours. |
|
|
green | The battery is fully charged; the charging cycle is com- |
| pleted. The charger has switched to trickle charging mode. |
| You may remove the transmitter from the charger. |
| Due to the charging process, the battery may heat up to |
| +60°C. This is normal. |
