2.2 Charging the Receiver Batteries
The vLoc3-9800 can be used with either alkaline batteries or an interchangeable rechargeable battery pack.
The central illuminated section within the battery icon indicates the amount of charge remaining.
• Green center indicates rechargeable batteries
• Blue center indicates Alkaline batteries
• When batteries are low the remaining charge section becomes red and will flash
Just before shutdown the following symbol will be shown:
Rechargeable batteries are supplied with a mains charger. This is specific to the batteries. Avoid using other manufacturers''
chargers as these may damage the battery pack and overheat the battery pack.
To charge the rechargeable batteries, first make sure the pack is inserted in the receiver battery compartment as charging is
done inside the receiver.
Connect the charger to the charging socket of the receiver. Connect the charger to the mains and switch it on. The LED indicator
on the charger will illuminate red until the batteries are fully charged, at which time the LED will change to green.
WARNING
Rechargeable batteries are supplied with a mains or 12V DC charger. These are specific to the
batteries. Only use the charger that is appropriate for the batteries in the product. Failure to use the
appropriate charger could damage the battery pack, locator and, in extreme cases cause a fire. If in
