Charging operations (through the supplied AC/DC adapter): To charge the internal battery, connect the
universal adaptor (supplied) to the mains electricity supply for about 6 hours (360 minutes) with the device
switched off (not operating).
The symbol
positioned near the 12V jack on the casing requires the user to read the instructions before
each use, identifying the model and type of power supply which can be connected through the information
provided in the instructions for use.
LIGHT INDICATORS
The device is provided with a light indicator (directly on the LCD screen) which allows you to view the opera-
tion of the device, autonomy of the battery, and the charge phase in progress.
The light indications, which appear during operation, are indicated in table I.
The charge cycle starts automatically by placing the device on the specific support bracket (ref. Support
Bracket and Charge Chapter). The charge occurs only when the motor of the suction unit is off.
DISPLAY IN CHARGE: this is on with white back-light and it remains on for the entire time. It switches off if
there is no external voltage. The charge phase lasts until the device is powered and the battery is kept at its
maximum charge. The large digits display “CHA” .
