5. Charging
Charge at room temperature. Charge the night before, or charge just
before use to be assured of starting your assignment with 100%
charge.
Turbo 3 is supplied with a universal charger that works with an AC
mains power from 100 to 240 VAC.
An accessory universal charger kit TRU may be used to allow charging
from Euro, UK, US, or Australia/NZ 100-240 VAC power outlet.
A
voltage converter is not necessary
.
Be sure the AC mains socket is an uninterruptible line (not
switched)
. Plug the charger into the
B socket only.
(Please note that
the A socket will not accepted a charger). The charge indicator will
light when the charger is properly connected. It is important not to
interrupt the charging so that the computer fuel gauge remains
accurate. If the power is interrupted, the fuel gauge may read
incorrectly for one charge cycle, but will correct itself on the next cycle.
A full charge takes about 3.5 hours.
Do not use any other type of
charger and risk damage to the Turbo 3 and the charger!
The fuel gauge indicates charging progress as shown in the diagram.
