PUMA T2 BATTERY CHARGER OVERVIEW
The desktop battery charger is meant for indoor environments. The battery charger
is supplied by either 230 V or 115 V, therefore its location must ensure an easy
and safe access to a wall plug that is the mains sectioning device.
The battery charger is available in the following versions:
•
BCP2-850
•
BCP6-850
•
BCU2-1500
•
BCU2-1500/B
•
BCU6-750
The overview of the battery charger goes on analyzing the equipment in general;
the differences among the five models will be considered in detail later.
On the battery charger shown in fig. 1.1, you can see the charging slots (1 and 2).
In every charging slot it is recommended to fit only a battery disconnected from the
PUMA T2 hand-held radio terminal. When inserting the PUMA T2 unit with the
battery pack, the plastic separating septum (3) must be removed from port and the
radio must be kept switched off during the whole charging process otherwise some
internal components can be damaged. A fast discharging button is on the battery
charger (6); it is to be used before recharging non Li-Ion batteries. Infact Li-Ion
batteries needn’t discharging before recharging. If you wish to discharge a battery
(NiCd, NiMH) you must insert it into the upper slot and press the corresponding
fast discharging button (S1).
The battery charger is equipped with a light signalling panel showing the charging
level of the battery; the meaning of the signalling is described in tab. 1.1
