Replacing the rechargeable batteries
The battery compartment is located at the front of the unit.
1) Open the battery compartment.
2) Remove the battery cable and the corresponding connector carefully from the housing. Disconnect the
battery pack. Connect the wires/plug (red to red, black to black) with the new battery pack and insert
same into the housing.
3) Close the battery compartment.
Only use original rechargeable batteries and charger units from ADE. The warranty does not
cover any damage caused by using other types of batteries or charger units.
Tips for handling the batteries
The life of a battery depends essentially on the load, frequency of use, temperatures, settings and the acces-
sories used.
–
New batteries or batteries that have been stored for long periods require a longer charging period.
–
Charge the batteries at room temperature.
–
Store the batteries empty (uncharged) in a cool, dark and dry place.
–
Never expose the batteries to temperatures below -10°C (14°F) or above 45°C (113°F).
–
Over the course of time, batteries lose their charging capacity and require a recharging period. If the bat-
tery performance drops considerably, then it is time to replace the battery.
–
New batteries are supplied only in partial charged condition. Some batteries only achieve their full capaci-
ty after several complete charge and discharge cycles.
–
When disposing of disused batteries, observe the valid legal and municipal regulations.
Never dispose of batteries in fire as they can leak or explode!
