3 vLoc3-DM Receiver Functions and Operations
Rechargeable batteries are supplied with a mains charger that is specific to the batteries. Avoid using other manufacturers’
chargers as these may damage the battery pack and result in overheating.
To charge the rechargeable batteries, first make sure the pack is inserted in the receiver battery compartment. Charging is done
with the battery 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. If in doubt call the
Vivax-Metrotech customer service department at +1(800) 446-3392. Failure to use the appropriate
charger could damage the battery pack, locator and in extreme cases cause a fire.
Avoid charging the unit in extreme temperature conditions, i.e., below 0ºC and above 45ºC
Although Vivax-Metrotech batteries include all the required safety-related features, immediately
discontinue the charger and battery pack's use if the battery pack becomes excessively warm. Return
both to where they were purchased for investigation.
Always ensure batteries have at least a partial charge if storing for long periods without use.
Dispose of all batteries following your company procedures and or Federal/State and local
regulations.
Never dismantle the battery pack, put them in a fire, or get them wet.
