If the markings
on the connector and
the receptacle ...
are on the
same side
,
positive
on
the connectors is at the
top
(inside)
and
negative
at the
bottom
(out-
side).
are on
opposite sides
,
positive
on
the connectors is at the
bottom
(outside) and
negative
at the
top
(inside).
Once you have connected your device
to the energy station with the appropri-
ate connectors ...
•
you can set the
main switch
to
“ON”
– your device will now be
supplied with power.
•
A
green LED “Full”
is illuminated
as soon as the main switch is
switched on and sufficient energy is
available.
•
A
red LED “Empty”
is illuminated
as soon as the main switch is
switched on – but the battery is
almost empty.
Caution!
You must
first recharge
the battery if the red LED “Empty”
is illuminated
. Otherwise the
battery will be depleted, usually
resulting in a considerable loss of
charging capacity.

Hint:
Once you have established the
correct connector assignment for your
device, you can secure the connector
with insulating tape to the receptacle
so that you will immediately have a
“suitable” cable for your device avail-
able the next time.
b) Removing the device
To discontinue supplying your device
with power from the energy station,
first ...
•
switch off the device
...
•
and set the
main switch
on the
energy station to
“OFF”
(centre
position
)
.
In this way you prevent that current is
still flowing while the connector is
being pulled. Sensitive devices some-
times malfunction as a consequence.
•
Now you can pull the adapter cable
connectors from both the device
and the energy station.
c) If it fails to work...?
If none of the two
LEDs
light up after
switching on, one of the fuses on the
energy station might have blown.
Changing the fuses
is described in
more detail in
Chapter 8
.
Should an LED light up on the energy
station after switching on but your
device
fail to work, you should
imme-
diately switch off
the energy station.
In this case, initially check whether the
cable is correctly connected – and
“Positive” and “Negative“ have not
been switched. If required, also check
the fuse in your device as described in
its instructions.
