Charging the Battery
The battery charge status affects the performance of the
DC E600. To maximize the performance and life of the battery, it is recommended that you
fully charge the battery using the specified charger set (charger and AC power adapter), and
then fully discharge it through the normal use at least one time.
1. Insert the battery into the charger as shown
in the illustration.
2. Connect one end of the AC power adapter
to the charger.
3. Connect the other end of the AC power
adapter to a wall outlet.
4. When the battery is being charged, the
charger LED indicator lights up in red.
When the battery is fully charged, it turns
into green.
The length of the charging time depends on the ambient temperature and the status of
the battery.
