6.3 – Recharging your REDi
You have the ability to recharge your REDi batteries via the interface cable
supplied with your REDi (see figure 3.0). This should only be attempted if you
have fitted your REDi with rechargeable batteries, you should never attempt to
charge your REDi with standard batteries (see power supply specifications in
section 6.4.3).
In order to recharge your REDi’s batteries you will first need to purchase an AC
Adaptor with the following specifications:
•
Output:
DC6V 400mA
•
Polarity:
– C +
•
Max Load:
1500mA
•
Connection: DC Power Connector
To recharge your REDi simply attach your REDi PC Connector to your REDi
device and to your AC Adaptor and switch your power supply on (see chapter
2.2). Full charge of your REDi device should take no longer than four hours to
complete. The battery status icon located in the bottom right corner of your
REDi’s screen will be initiated and will fill (in black) from right to left (see figure
6.3). If the battery symbol does not appear or appears but disappears quickly
either your REDi batteries have been sufficiently charged or the polarity of your
AC Adaptor is incorrect.
The REDi uses a fast charge algorithm so it will charge your batteries in just a
few hours. Once fully charged it will switch into trickle charge mode to keep your
batteries topped up. In this phase the battery symbol will flick on for 1 second,
every 20 second

Caution: The use of an incorrect AC Adapter could result in considerable
damage to you REDi device, please ensure that you only use an AC Adapter that
matches the above specifications.
