Two means of charging the battery are provided.
A.
....using the 230 Volt Charger
1.
Plug the adapter into the socket at the front of
the unit, then the transformer into the mains
supply and switch ON. The red LED will illuminate
to denote charging is in progress.
2.
Continue to charge until the RED charging light
goes OUT.
It is important to note that this could
take several days, depending upon the state of
charge of the battery.
NOTE: Pressing the ‘TEST’ button, with the charger
disconnected, will cause the needle on the voltmeter
to register the state of charge of the battery.
Once the charger is disconnected, it will be noted
that the voltage will slowly settle back. This is quite
normal and should not cause alarm.
When the LED extinguishes, charging will
automatically stop, indicating that the battery is at
maximum capacity,
