To charge the strobe with the recharger:

1.  Release the trigger so the strobe is off.

2.  Plug the recharger cable into the recharger socket (located below

  the display panel behind the handle).

3.  Plug the recharger into an AC mains wall outlet (115/230 V ac).

CAUTION:  Use  of  rechargers  other  than  the  one  supplied 

 

(PSC-2U) will damage the stroboscope and void the warranty.

When the recharger plug is inserted into the recharger jack, the strobe 

will go into the Charging Mode. Make sure the trigger switch is not 

depressed.  The  BBL  strobe  will  not  do  anything  else  when  charging 

(e.g. it will not flash and the buttons have no function).

When charging, the strobe will indicate 

CHRGE

 in the bottom of the 

display. The recharger will fast charge the batteries for about 4-5 hours 

and then trickle charge the batteries.

Allow  the  recharger  to  charge  the  batteries  until  the  display  shows 

DONE

 for peak battery life performance. If the batteries are not charged 

to 100% regularly, the batteries will lose capacity.

6.3  Stroboscope Disposal

Prior to disposing of the battery-powered strobe, the user must 

remove the nickel metal hydride batteries. To do this, first remove 

the LED assembly. This will expose four (4) screws that must be 

removed so the reflector housing can be dismantled. There are four 

(4) additional screws in the case half opposite the input and output 

jacks that must be removed. The case halves can now be separated, 

exposing the batteries. Remove the cables from the batteries and place 

tape over the battery terminals to prevent them from shorting. The 

batteries should be sent to a recycling center or returned to the factory. 

The rest of the parts may now be disposed.
