(Lc)
.
Note:
The charging procedure is only possible when the battery
temperature is within the allowable charging temperature range,
see 7. TECHNICAL DATA.
Continuous lighting
of the battery
charge indicator
(Lc)
Continuous lighting
of the battery charge indicator
(Lc)
indicates that
the battery is fully charged
or
that the temperature of the battery is
not within the allowable charging temperature range and can therefore
not be charged.
When the battery is not inserted,
continuous lighting
of the battery
charge indicator
(Lc)
indicates that the mains plug is inserted in the
socket outlet and that the battery charger is ready for operation.
Battery charge status indication
