6.1.2. Charging Batteries

WARNING: NEVER RECHARGE NON RECHARGEABLE CELLS.

Caution: Switch the monitor off when charging batteries.

There are three options for charging batteries fitted inside the monitor:

• Standard Monitor Charger (Part No. 67134).
• Charging Station (Part No.67101), used with Universal Power Supply (Part No.12444),

12V Power Supply (Part No.12988) or 24V Reduction Box (Part No.67233).

• A 12V/24V Vehicle Instrument Charger (Part No. 66206).

(The rechargeable batteries can also be removed from the monitor and charged in an appropriate,
commercially available charger.)
During charging, the display indicates ‘CHARGING IN PROGRESS’ together with the pulsing
battery icon, as shown in

Figure 34: Charging in Progress
