• Charging
- Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet. (110 volts for USA
models, 220 volts for UK models).
- To charge, insert the battery into the cradle / stand (only fits one way)
plug the charger plug into the back of the cradle / stand. Green light should glow.
- Green and Red Lights ON indicate battery and charger have made
a good connection and the battery is charging. The battery charger is designed
to charge a completely low battery in as little as 3-4 hours. However, no harm
will come to the system leaving it charging for several days (automatic trickle
charge).
- Red Light OFF, Green Light ON indicates battery is now fully charged
and ready for use and will now simply maintain the full charge indefinitely. It is
normal for the battery and charger to get warm during use. However, if either
the battery or the charger gets too hot to hold or deforms due to the heat,
discontinue use and return for testing.
- When using fresh batteries, the voltage will initially check somewhere
in the 10 to 13 volt area. Unlike standard batteries, the rechargeable battery
voltage will quickly drop somewhere between 9 and 11 volts and plateau there
for most of its life. Once the rechargeable battery voltage drops below this
plateau, it will quickly drop below a usable voltage level (8 volts) and thus require
a recharge. “Unhappy Battery Icon” will automatically appear on the display when
the battery approaches 8 volts. It is recommended to either recharge or switch
to “AA” pack when occasional unhappy battery starts to appear (flash) on display.
With a consistent unhappy battery, Spectra will not be operating properly and will
soon entirely cease to operate.
