A - Docking/Charge Bays

Ensure there is no water or gel on the contact panels of the receiver or 
transducer when charging, as this may prevent good contact. 

Dock the transducers in position A when not in use. Place the transducers with  
the golden charging rings facing the charging pins and snap into place. 

The transducers are equipped with re-chargeable lithium polymer batteries. 
When the transducer is docked the battery is charged automatically, provided 
the receiver is connected to the mains supply. 

Once a transducer has been positioned correctly for charging, a Green LED in 
the corresponding holder (B) turns on.

It doesn’t matter in which of the two positions a transducer is docked. However, 
to ensure the transducers are recognised without delay, the Ultrasound 
transducer should be placed in the holder fi rst. If the TOCO transducer is 
inserted fi rst, there may be a delay in the transducer being recognised.

Note:  

The gold plated contact rings MUST be clean & dry before the 

   

transducer is docked.  Failure to ensure this may cause  

 

   

corrosion, poor contact and may invalidate the warranty.
