5 Battery & Battery Charger
5.1 Connecting the Battery Charger
The processor-controlled battery charger can be configured with exchangeable plugs for the main power
supply. Before using the charger, ensure that the appropriate plug for your country has been inserted into the
unit. Should this not be the case and the plug needs changing, follow these steps:
⇒
In order to change the plug, shift the spring-loaded locking mechanism on the back of the charger unit in
the indicated direction.
⇒
Insert the desired exchangeable plug into the charger unit until it audibly clicks and is locked into place.
The ‘Power’ LED will light up and indicate the ready condition as soon as the charger unit is connected to
the mains supply.
⇒
Connect the charger with the charger cradle by inserting the plug on the secondary side of the charger
into the matching socket in the charger cradle.
