3.- INSTALLATION
3.1 The CB60 battery charger
Connect the charger to the mains using the power source and cable supplied. On
installing the battery charger, bear in mind that the batteries must be charged at
temperatures over 5ºC and that the power supply must be left on all night. Also
remember that the charger must not be left in direct sunlight as the batteries will not
become fully charged at temperatures exceeding 35ºC.
Place the batteries in the charger. The LEDs should light up, indicating that recharging
is in process. Complete recharging takes 12 hours, but the batteries may remain in the
charger for an unlimited period of time.
The capacity of the batteries decreases with use. Their life span is estimated to be 500
recharging cycles, but this depends largely on the conditions of use, for which the
following is recommended:
!
Do not recharge the battery until it is completely flat. The transmitter indicates
this.
!
Always charge the batteries at temperatures between 5º and 35ºC.
!
Avoid short-circuits between the battery contacts. Do not carry charged batteries
in tool-boxes or next to other metal objects (keys, coins, etc.)
!
Always keep contacts clean.
!
Never leave batteries in direct sunlight.
