Power lead and battery charging
•
If the power lead supplied is not suitable for your AC
connection, do not use an adaptor. Always use a power
lead fitted with the correct plug.
•
Do not use an inadequately rated AC lead.
•
If using a fused plug, ensure that it is fitted with a 3A fuse.
•
Supply voltage: 90 to 265 V rms ac at 50/60 Hz.
•
A green LED illuminates when line power/mains is
present.
•
The battery will charge over its operating temperature
range as long as an AC source is connected, except when
a test is in progress.
•
For optimum battery life, charge the battery after each use.
Full charge duration is up to 2
½
hours but a first charge time
of 3 hours is advised.
•
The battery must be charged between 0 °C and 40 °C
ambient temperature. If the battery detects a temperature
outside this range the battery symbol will flash.
