Charging the batteries
When there are no more bars visible in the battery symbol, it is
time to charge the batteries. They can also be charged sooner,
i.e. even when the battery symbol displays sufficient remaining
capacity.
WARNING! Risk of shortening battery life!
The built-in NiMH rechargeable batteries must not be exposed
to high temperatures during the charging process. Otherwise
full charging capacity will not be reached. In extreme cases the
charging process is halted following an error message.
●
Ensure that the maximum permitted operating temperature is
not exceeded when charging the batteries.
When the batteries are completely empty, the charging process
lasts approx. four hours.
The
M4 AC/DC adapter
is required to charge the batteries. Alter-
natively, an
M4 vehicle cable
can be used. The AC/DC adapter
is included in delivery. The vehicle cable is available to buy as
an accessory.
The magnetometer can be switched on or off when charging
the batteries. SEWERIN recommends that the magnetometer be
switched off when charging the batteries.
1. Plug the AC/DC adapter plug into the charging socket of the
magnetometer.
2. Plug the AC/DC adapter into a socket.
The start screen appears. Charging starts automatically. The
battery symbol bars are displayed in motion.
3. Wait until all of the bars are visible again in the battery symbol.
The bars stop moving.
4. Disconnect the AC/DC adapter from the magnetometer and
the mains socket. Battery charging is complete.
