Chargers

 

 

Place the chargers in a cool, ventilated (fire safe) area. Attach robot or OCU to the 
corresponding charger. Ensure devices are properly powered off before charging.  

When the chargers are plugged into the wall, the 

light turns green 

to let you 

know there is power. 

When you plug the units (OCU or 

Recon Scout 

robot) into the chargers, the 

light 

turns red 

to let you know the unit is charging. 

When the light turns from red to green, it means the charger has entered trickle 
mode.  Allow the robot to trickle charge for an hour or two for maximum 
performance.
