Instruction Manual KAL 100/200
16
After switching on the KAL, the charge level must be evaluated and sent to the Display unit.
Due to this the displayed charge level may be delayed or might show wrong values( 0.0%) for
some seconds.
The device cannot charge if it is not connected to the mains power supply or if the master switch
on the back of the device is not switched on. In this case, the following message will be
displayed for a few seconds as soon as the residual charge of the battery falls below 40%:
If the main power supply is not connected or switched off the device will switch off itself after a
few seconds. If this happens, the device should be connected to the mains power supply to
charge the rechargeable battery. This is particularly important if the device will not be used for a
longer period of time.
If, after switching on the power supply, the device reports with the normal operating mode
(display: KAL200 Rev. X.X), it can be put into the rapid charge mode described above by
pressing the on/off switch on the front panel.
Due to the 25% steps of the charge level, the level might show 100.0% for some time. At a real
charge level of aprox. 90% the display will switch the 90% Display, but the battery will continue
to charge.
When the battery is fully charged (device has switched itself off), you can separate
the device from the mains power supply again.
The charged battery has enough power to work
for 1 to 2 days with the KAL or some month of not using the KAL200.

What to do in the case of total discharge
The integrated rechargeable battery has its own protective switch. This completely switches off
the output voltage of the battery if it falls below a specified value. If this happens, the display of
the KAL200/100 may not show the battery symbol. Whenever it is switched on, the KAL100/200
will attempt to reactivate the rechargeable battery. It is therefore advisable in these
circumstances to switch the device on and off until the rechargeable battery symbol is visible
once again.
However, the most effective method is to avoid leaving the device with an empty battery
for an extended period and always to charge the battery before any longer periods during
which it will not be in use.
