3.3 Inserting the batteries:
Battery handles (2.4 and 2.8) type C and AA with rheotronic® 3.5 V (for ri-charger® L).
Battery handle (2.6) type C with rheotronic® 3.5 V (for plug-in charger). Battery handle (2.5) type
C with rheotronic® 3.5 V for charging at a 230 V or 120 V socket.
CAUTION!
Please observe the safety information!
− Unscrew the battery handle cover on the lower part of the handle in an anticlockwise direction.
− Remove the red safety foil on the plus side of the battery during initial startup.
− Insert the battery appropriate for your battery handle (see 2.2) into the battery handle with the
plus side pointing towards the top of the handle. In addition to the plus symbol, you will also
find an arrow that shows you the direction of insertion into the battery grip.
− Firmly screw the battery handle cover back on.
3.4 Removing the batteries:
Battery handles (2.4 and 2.8) type C and AA with rheotronic® 3.5 V (for ri-charger® L).
Battery handle (2.6) type C with rheotronic® 3.5 V (for plug-in charger). Battery handle (2.5) type
C with rheotronic® 3.5 V for charging at a 230 V or 120 V socket.
CAUTION!
Please observe the safety information
− Unscrew the battery handle cover on the lower part of the battery handle in an anticlockwise
direction.
− Remove the batteries from the battery handle by holding the opening of the battery handle
slightly downwards and shaking it slightly if necessary.
− Firmly screw the battery handle cover back on.
4. Charging battery handles with rechargeable batteries:
4.1 Battery handles (2.4 and 2.8) type C and AA with rheotronic® 3.5 V (for ri-charger® L).
− Can only be charged in the ri-charger® L charger (art.no. 10705, art.no. 10706) from Riester.
− The ri-charger® L charger comes with an additional user manual that must be observed.
4.2 Battery handle (2.6) type C with rheotronic® 3.5 V (for plug-in charger).
− It can only be charged with the plug-in charger (art.no. 10707) from Riester.
For this purpose, the small round plug at the bottom of the battery handle is plugged into the
rechargeable battery at the opening in the battery handle cover (art.no. 10694 ri-accu® L). Now
connect the power plug of the plug-in charger to the power supply. The charge status of the
battery is indicated via the LED on the plug-in charger. Red light means charging, green light
means the battery is fully charged.
4.3 Battery handle (2.5) type C with rheotronic® 3.5 V for charging at a 230 V or 120 V socket.
Remove the base of the socket handle by turning it anti-clockwise. The plug contacts become
visible. Round contacts are for 230 V mains operation, flat contacts are for 120 V mains operation.
Now plug the handle base into the socket for charging.
CAUTION!
Before using the socket handle for the first time, it should be charged in the socket for a maxi-
mum of 24 hours.
CAUTION!
The socket handle must not be charged for more than 24 hours.
CAUTION!
The handle must never be in the socket when replacing the battery!
Specifications: 230 V or 120 V version options
CAUTION!
• If you do not use the device for a long time or take it with you while traveling, please remove
the batteries and rechargeable batteries from the handle.
• New batteries should be inserted when the light intensity of the instrument becomes weaker.
• In order to obtain an optimal light yield, we recommend that you always insert new high-quality
batteries when changing the battery (as described in 3.1 and 3.2).
• If there is a suspicion that liquid or condensation has penetrated the handle, it must not be
charged under any circumstances. This may cause a life-threatening electric shock, especially
with plug-in handles.
• To extend the battery life, the battery should not be charged until the light intensity of the
instrument becomes weaker.
