Charging
- Plug the charger into a standard wall outlet. (110 volts for USA models, 220 volts for UK
models).
- To charge, insert the battery into the cradle / stand (only fi ts one way) plug the charger plug
into the back of the cradle / stand. Green light should glow.
- Green and Red Lights ON indicate battery and charger have made a good connection and
the battery is charging. The battery charger is designed to charge a completely low battery in
as little as 3-4 hours. However, no harm will come to the system leaving it charging for several
days (automatic trickle charge).
- Red Light OFF, Green Light ON indicates battery is now fully charged and ready for use and
will now simply maintain the full charge indefi nitely. It is normal for the battery and charger to get warm during use. However,
if either the battery or the charger gets too hot to hold or deforms due to the heat, discontinue use and return for testing.
- When using fresh batteries, the voltage will initially check somewhere in the 10 to 13 volt area. Unlike standard
batteries, the rechargeable battery voltage will quickly drop somewhere between 9 and 11 volts and plateau there for most
of its life. Once the rechargeable battery voltage drops below this plateau, it will quickly drop below a usable voltage level
(8 volts) and thus require a recharge. “Unhappy Battery Icon” will automatically appear on the display when the battery
approaches 8 volts. It is recommended to either recharge or switch to “AA” pack when occasional unhappy battery starts
to appear (fl ash) on display. With a consistent unhappy battery, Spectra will not be operating properly and will soon entirely
cease to operate.
