Operation

Starting Operation

 Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power supply must correspond with the
data given on the nameplate of the battery charger. Battery chargers marked with 230 V
can also be operated with 220 V.
Charging Procedure
The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug of the battery charger is plugged in-
to the socket outlet and the battery 1 is inserted into the charging compartment 3.
Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condition of the battery is automatically
detected and the battery is charged with the optimum charging current, depending on bat-
tery temperature and voltage.
This gives longer life to the battery and always leaves it fully charged when kept in the charger
for storage.
Note: The charging procedure is only possible when the battery temperature is within the al-
lowable charging temperature range, see "Technical Data" section.
Meaning of the Indication Elements
Flashing Battery Charge Indicator 2
The charging procedure is signalled by a flashing battery charge indicator
2.
Continuous Lighting of the Battery Charge Indicator 2
Continuous lighting of the battery charge indicator 2 indicates that
the battery is fully charged or that the temperature of the battery is
not within the allowable charging temperature range, and cannot be
charged for this reason. The battery is charged as soon as the allow-
able charging temperature range is reached.
When the battery is not inserted, continuous lighting of the battery charge indicator 2 indi-
cates that the mains plug is inserted in the socket and that the battery charger is ready for
operation.
