Charging the
Internal Battery
The battery comes with four LEDs indicating the current
battery charge status. Push the button by the LEDs to read
the battery charge status. All lit LEDs means the battery is
fully charged. If none of them lights up when pushing the
button, then the battery is exhausted and needs recharging.
The battery may be charged in two different ways:
• Leave the battery within the receiver’s battery
compartment and charge it from the external DC source
you are using to power the receiver. The charging state will
be reported as an icon on the General Status screen (see
).
• You may use the dual-battery charger provided as part of
the receiver shipment.
Before inserting the battery, insert a spacer in the battery
slot used (see picture below where the two spacers
provided have been inserted into the charger and the
battery has then been inserted into one of them). Two
battery spacers/inserts are provided with the receiver
shipment.
Connect the charger to the power supply (provided), which
you then connect to the power line.
Charging takes approximately 3 hours at room
temperature. If two batteries are inserted in the battery
charger, then the batteries will be charged sequentially,
from left to right.
Warning
: Ensure that nothing obstructs the vents in the
back and bottom of the charger and that the charger is
placed on a hard, flat and level surface, to ensure that
there is airflow under the charger. Do not operate the
battery charger while it is in the transport case.
