RECHARGING AND CHANGING THE BATTERIES 

 
You must use the battery charger included with your 

VocaFlex® Colour 

for charging. 

Recharge the batteries by plugging the battery charger in the input for charging on the 
back of 

VocaFlex® Colour 

(see illustration). The charging time is 4 hours for flat 

batteries. 
LED number 2 (see illustration page 9) will start flickering red 
when the batteries are nearly flat. It is now time to plug in the 
battery charger. If the batteries are 

flat 

when you connect the 

charger, LED number 2 (see illustration page 9) will start 
flickering red when the batteries are nearly discharged. It is 
now time to plug in the battery charger. If the batteries are 

discharged 

when you connect 

the charger, LED number 2 will light red and will continue to light red until the batteries 
are fully recharged (approximately 4 hours). When the batteries are fully charged, the 
LED will turn green. If the batteries are 

not

 discharged when you connect the charger, 

you will have to press one of the keys on the user panel to check if the charging has 
started – if so, LED number 2 will light red. If the LED is not lighting at all, it is because 
the plug is not connected properly to the 

VocaFlex® Red.

  If the led is lightening green, 

the

 

batteries are fully charged. The LED lights red until the batteries are fully recharged. 

We recommend you to recharge the 

VocaFlex® Red 

every night so that it is ready for 

use in the morning. You can recharge the batteries even when they have not been used 
much, without causing any damage to them 
 
When changing the battery use only the combined battery and battery compartment that 
is meant for the VocaFlex. A new battery pack can be purchased from your VocaFlex 
supplier. 
It is possible to use an alkaline battery as well.  This could be useful as a backup if it is 
inconvenient to charge the VocaFlex battery. This is not recommended, though, because 
of the danger of accidentally charging this battery. 
 

Decontamination Procedure 

There may be a requirement to decontaminate a 

VocaFlex® Colour 

and/or associated 

equipment after use to reduce the risk of infection transmission to other people. The 
following decontamination procedure is recommended for this type of low-risk equipment:  

  clean the external surfaces with a disposable paper wipe moistened with warm 

detergent solution.   

  Allow the surfaces to dry.   

  Wipe the surfaces with a commercially-available alcohol-impregnated disposable 

wipe. 

 

ENVIRONMENT: 

When it is time to discard the 

VocaFlex® Colour 

or the batteries, you must treat it as 

special waste or return it to your supplier. The 

VocaFlex® Colour 

packaging can be 

recycled as regular paper waste.
