Using the Dock to Recharge the Main Battery
There are two methods for using the PT40 Dock to recharge the main Lith-
ium-ion battery of the Falcon PT40.
•
To use the first method, connect the PT40 to the dock connected to a
power source, and charging takes place automatically. While the PT40 is
being charged, the LED on the front of the PT40 will be red. When the
PT40 is fully charged, the LED will change from red to green.
•
To use the second method, remove the main battery or spare battery
from the PT40 and insert it into the charging slot at the rear of the
Dock. When you charge a battery in the slot, the red right-most LED
stays on. The LED turns off when there is no battery in the slot.
Always charge the battery within the temperature range of 32°–113°F (0°–
45°C). Refer to
Falcon PT40 Batteries on page A-1
for complete information on
charging and recharging the PT40’s batteries.
