Powering the CS10
The CS10 can either be powered with Li-Ion rechargeable
batteries or with the external power cord� To reduce
the risk of electrical shock, use battery power as the
preferred powering method and only install batteries or
plug in the power cord with dry hands� Never operate the
unit from AC using the power cord in a wet environment�
Battery Power
To operate the CS10 using battery power, insert one or
two fully charged batteries onto the battery dock located
on the back of the CS10� Ensure the battery locks onto
the dock�
See the Battery Charger Operator’s Manual
for more information.
When fully charged, one 18 V Li-Ion battery rated at
2�2 Ah will power the CS10 for approximately 1�75 hours;
and two batteries will power the CS10 for approximately
4�5 hours� Actual battery operation time will vary with
battery rating and use�
If operating the CS10 on AC power and if at least one
battery is also installed, the External Power Icon
will appear in the Status Overlay for 3 seconds if the
CS10 is disconnected from AC power to indicate the
switch to battery power�
Checking Battery Status: LEDs
The CS10 has four battery indicator LEDs, two for each
battery, located just below the screen (See Figure 10).
