Notes on Grundig rechargeable battery 462
New rechargeable batteries do not reach full capacity until
they have been recharged several times. For this reason the
operating time for new rechargeable batteries is a maximum
of 3 hours.
When these batteries are fully charged, you can use the
dictation machine up to 7 hours.
The rechargeable batteries’ charge state is shown on the
dictation machine display.
– »
« Rechargeable batteries charged;
– »
« After approx. 2 hours operating time;
– »
« After approx. 4 hours operating time;
– »
« After approx. 7 hours operating time.
If the rechargeable batteries were completely recharged, a
brief warning beep (rechargeable battery/battery warning)
will sound after 7 hours operating time. During recording
mode, operation will automatically switch over to play mode.
The »
« rechargeable battery symbol will flash on the dis-
play. You will still be able to dictate for a few minutes before
the dictation machine automatically switches off. We recom-
mend either starting the charging process after the warning
beep or to use the power supply to operate the dictation
machine.
The rechargeable batteries will not be charged if the dictation
machine has been switched on and connected to the power
supply. You are now using the dictation machine in mains
operation.
The dictation machine’s operating system is ”shut down”
(as for a PC) when it is switched off. Sufficient power must still
be available for this purpose. If, after the dictation machine
has automatically switched off, you switch it back on again
without plugging in the power supply or if the rechargeable
batteries have not been recharged, your saved dictations may
be permanently lost.
