4. Charging battery grips with rechargeable batteries:
4.1.
Battery grips (2.4 and 2.8) type C and AA with
rheotronic
®
3.5 V (for
ri-
charger
®
L
).
− Can only be used in the charger
ri-
charger
®
L
(art. no.10705, art. no.10706) from Riester.
− The

®
L
charger comes with an additional user manual that must be observed.
4.2.
Battery grip (2.6) type C with
rheotronic
®
3.5 V (for plug-in charger)
- It can only be used with the plug-in charger (art. no.10707) from Riester.
For this purpose, the small round plug is inserted into the lower part of the battery grip
through the opening in the battery grip cover in the battery (art. no.10694
ri-

Battery grip (2.5) type C with
rheotronic
®
3.5 V for charging in the 230 V or 120 V socket.
- Turn the bottom part of the socket handle anti-clockwise. The socket contacts become visib-
le. Round contacts are for 230 V mains operation, flat contacts are for 120 V mains operation.
Now plug the grip base into the socket for charging.
