RTR-600BD is the battery charger dock for the RTR-601 Series data loggers. It also acts as a USB 

communication interface dock between the RTR-601 and PC for registration and setup of the RTR-601.

• RTR-600BD is referred to as simply the “dock” in this document.
• RTR-601 Series is referred to as simply "RTR-601" or "Remote Unit" in this document.
• To use RTR-601 as a Remote Unit, it is necessary to have any of the compatible Base Units: RTR500BW, RTR-500NW, RTR-500AW, RTR500BC or RTR-500.

 Make sure to charge the battery on a flat surface without 

vibration. Placing the dock on an unstable surface may result 

in injury or damage from falling.

 Battery cannot be charged by USB bus power. Make sure to use 

the AC adaptor.

 To mount the dock on a wall, firmly tighten the screws to 

prevent it from falling.

1. 

Connect the supplied AC adaptor to the dock.

 . 

Place the RTR-601 into the dock and charging will begin.

• Once the RTR-601 is recognized, the Blue LED on the dock will light up.
• Once charging begins properly, the Green LED on the RTR-601 will light up 

and the LCD display will turn off.

* Up to two Remote Units can be charged 

at the same time.

• Once charging has been completed, 

LEDs on both the dock and the Remote 

Unit(s) will turn off.

 Please stop using in the following situations.

•  The Red LED on the dock is ON:

If the dock recognizes an irregular electrical activity, it automatically 

stops charging and the Red LED will light up. Unplug the AC adaptor 

and check the following:

(1) that there are no metallic objects between the dock and Remote 

Unit(s), and

(2) if the Remote Unit(s) are properly placed on the dock.

The Red LED on the dock may light up for just a moment due to 

power fluctuation. There is no problem unless the Red LED remains 

on.

•  The Orange LED on RTR-601 is BLINKING:

If the body of the RTR-601 gets too hot (over 40°C), the Orange LED 

will start blinking and battery charging will temporarily stop. Once 

the body cools down, charging will restart.

•  If, after checking the above and resetting the RTR-601 several 

times, the Red LED on the dock remains on, please stop using the 

dock and contact your distributor.
