The hand-held transmitter is supplied with power by means of the rechargeable
battery pack included in the scope of supply or by two NiMh rechargeable batter-
ies, size AA (LR6). he batteries must be charged in good time by means of the
appropriate plug-in charger. The ambient temperature must be between 10° C and
45° C for the charging process.
The battery capacity is shown in the display of the hand-held transmitter. The
charging status of the battery corresponds to the filled surface in the battery icon.
For a new battery, the completely filled battery icon means a useful operating time
of the switched-on hand-held transmitter (Run or STOP) of at least 8 hours.
If only residual charge is displayed, connect the hand-held transmitter to the
charger as soon as possible. If the battery icon is empty, the hand-held transmitter
must be immediately connected to the charger.
The operating time that can be reached for the hand-held transmitter with one
battery charge depends on the operating mode of the hand-held transmitter, the
ambient temperature and the age of the batteries.
If the hand-held transmitter is continuously switched on, 8 hours of operation can
be achieved with one battery charge.
The following measures reduce power consumption:
•
Actuate the STOP key, when the crane is not used,
•
Switch the transmitter off by changing to Standby during breaks in operation.
When this battery icon is displayed, immediately charge the integrated
batteries by means of the plug-in charger included in the supply.
If the batteries are not charged immediately, the battery icon starts to flash and the
hand-held transmitter is switched off after a few seconds.
Quick charging of the batteries with the hand-held transmitter is only possible at
ambient temperatures from 10 °C to 45 °C. If the temperature is higher or lower
than this range, the charging process is aborted and the system automatically
switches over to trickle charging.

The charging process is monitored and controlled by the electronics in the hand-
held transmitter. Partly discharged batteries can also be charged.
Plug charger into a power socket and connect the connection cable in the charger
socket of the hand-held transmitter – the battery icon is animated during the charg-
ing process and fills in cycles.
When the charging cable is connected, the hand-held transmitter changes to
standby mode.
