output. The LEDs on the Viewer and Imager Handle
will indicate the charging status as follows:

Note: The BK6500 will only charge the battery if
the temperature is between 0°C and 45°C (32°F

BK6500 may continue to operate but the batteries
will not charge and the Charge Status LED will be off.
1. Make sure the charger is unplugged. Inspect
the power cord, charger and battery for
damage or modifications, or broken, worn,
missing, misaligned or binding parts. If any
problems are found, do not use charger until
the parts have been repaired or replaced.
2. Clean any oil, grease or dirt from the equipment
as described in the Maintenance section,
especially handles and controls. This helps
prevent the equipment from slipping from your
grip and allows proper ventilation.
3. Check to see that all warning labels and decals
on the BK6500 and A/C Power Supply are
intact and readable.
4. Select the appropriate location for the A/C
Power Supply before use. Check work area for:
– Adequate lighting.
– Flammable liquids, vapors or dust that may
ignite. If present, do not work in area until
sources have been identified and corrected.
The charger is not explosion proof and can
cause sparks.
– Do not use the device in wet or damp areas.
5. With dry hands, plug the charger into the
appropriate power source.
6. When the battery is fully charged, the red LED
is replaced by a green LED.
– Once the battery is charged, it may remain
plugged into the charger until it is ready to
be used. There is no risk of over-charging
the battery. When the battery has been fully
charged, the charger automatically switches
to retention charging.
