1.6.1 Voltage
selection
The docking station requires connection to a suitable power source.
THE SELECTION OF 115 V OR
230 V MUST BE DONE MANUALLY
. Moving a red switch on the rear of the docking station to the
appropriate position does this (Docking Station is always shipped with 230 V selected). The docking
station is designed to work between 50 Hz to 60 Hz AC so no switching for this is necessary.
Voltage Selector Switch 110 / 230 V
1.6.2 Battery
charging
The battery supplied is a maintenance free 1.2 AH Lead Acid Gel Cell. This type of battery can be
used in any position and features a low ‘self discharge’ which means it can be left unused for some
time without requiring recharging. Due to the sealed nature of the battery it should only be recharged
on the supplied docking station. The battery could be destroyed if it is recharged with the incorrect
type of charging unit. To ensure maximum performance from the battery the following guidelines
should always be followed:
•
Do not leave the battery discharged for extended periods
•
Never short circuit the terminals
•
If possible avoid charging battery pack at extreme ambient temperatures
Remove battery pack from the SMT-200 and store safely if the SMT-200 is not to be used for an
extended period of time
