Starting the charging cycle
✓
The AC line voltage matches the operating voltage of the AC adapter /
charger unit.
✓
The appropriate AC line adapter has been fitted.
1. Connect the AC adapter / charger unit to the “Charge” socket of the
ELT-400.
2. Connect the AC adapter / charger unit to the AC line supply.
•
The charge cycle starts.
At least one of the four segments in the battery symbol in the LCD is
filled and flashes. Eventually all the segments will be filled as charging
proceeds.
•
When the batteries are fully charged, the AC adapter / charger unit
switches to trickle charge mode automatically.
All the segments of the battery symbol in the LCD are filled and
displayed.
Note: The charge cycle is still indicated if the AC adapter / charger unit
is disconnected from the AC line after charging has started but
remains connected to the ELT-400. If charging seems to be taking
an unusually long time, check that the connection to the AC line
supply is working properly.
Caution
Explosion
Alkaline batteries can explode if you attempt to recharge them.

Before you start charging the batteries, make sure that rechargeable
batteries and not alkaline batteries are fitted in the battery compartment.
