Recharging batteries
The DPM can be operated with the rechargable Philips NiMH batteries
LFH 9144. For recharging these batteries, either use the DPM Docking
Station 9110 or the Philips power supply LFH 9145.
For more information on recharging the batteries with the DPM Docking
Station 9110, refer to the documentation delivered with the product.
To recharge the batteries (fast recharge) with the Philips power supply
LFH 9145, do the following:
1. Connect the Philips power supply LFH 9145 to the mains power supply.
2. Deactivate the DPM via the Lock/Hold switch; this starts the recharging
process.

been fully recharged. The symbol for 100% battery power (

displayed when completely new standard batteries (not rechargable) are
inserted or when the DPM is run from the mains power supply.
