The Smart Charger #4066.1 is a variable input voltage charger that automatically

adjusts for the voltage of the power source, ranging from 100V to 240V. The Smart

Charger adapts to current fluctuations in travel destinations with poorly regulated

power. It provides more complete recharging, prolongs battery life, and offers trickle

maintenance charge.

The Smart Charger #4066.1 offers use worldwide by accepting interchangeable

adapter plugs for different electric wall outlets. It is packaged with four interchangeable

charger plugs for USA, European, United Kingdom, and Australian electric outlets.

Choose the appropriate charger plug for your location and slide the chosen plug on the

back of the charger; it snaps into position. To interchange the charger plugs, press UP on

the charger plug to unsnap it from the back of the charger and slide another plug into

position.

The charge indicator light on the Smart Charger shows the present recharge mode.

It illuminates once connected to both the electric outlet and the Ikelite battery module.

Recharge time with the Smart Charger is 2-hours for a full recharge of the DS125;

afterwards the Smart Charger will automatically switch to provide a trickle maintenance

charge. Only the Smart Charger is capable of providing a trickle maintenance charge

permitting the NiMH pack to be continuously charged for extended periods.

The DS125 strobe features a visual ready light on the side of the strobe that glows

when the strobe has recycled and is ready to fire. The middle #2 LED on the fuel gauge

The DS125 strobe also features a confidence light that will glow if the strobe

properly exposes the picture. The #3 LED on the fuel gauge will glow GREEN for three

seconds if the DS125 strobe quenches, indicating that the strobe has provided proper

exposure. This green confidence light illuminates only in the TTL exposure mode.
