BATTERY INFORMATION
The device has a battery inside which is recharged by receiving external power. Do not remove the battery.
Loading and unloading
Important note:
Complete the initial charge before using the device.
An initial charge of approximately 8 hours is recommended to optimise battery
performance.
The device is powered by a rechargeable battery.
Note that new batteries reach top performance only after having been fully recharged and
discharged twice or three times. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times
but will wear out with use.
Plug the power supply unit included into the DC input on the left of the device (also see controls
and settings) (also see the controls and adjustments chapter).
Check that the voltage of the mains to which the power supply unit is connected corresponds to
the ratings indicated on the power supply unit itself.
Plug the power unit into the mains. After this operation, the LED will light up indicating that the
battery is being recharged. The LED will go out automatically when the battery is charged.
Disconnect the battery charger from the electric socket and the device when not in use. Do not
leave the fully charged battery connected to the battery charger because excessive charge may
limit duration.
If not used, even a completely charged battery may discharge in time.
Warnings
Do not use batteries for purposes others than those specified. Do not use batteries or battery
chargers which are damaged.
Do not short circuit the battery. This may occur by accident, e.g. if you are holding the battery in
your pocket or in a container with coins, paper clips or a pen because the (+) and (-) battery
terminals (the metallic tabs on the battery) can be put into contact. This may cause damage to
the battery and/or the concerned object.
Leaving the battery in very hot or very cold places, e.g. in a locked car in the summer or in the
winter, may reduce the capacity and duration of the battery itself.
A device with a hot or cold battery may temporarily not work, even if the battery is fully charged.
Battery efficiency is considerably reduced at temperatures lower than freezing.
Do not throw batteries into the fire: they could explode. Batteries may explode if damaged.
Dispose of batteries respecting local regulations in force. Recycle, when possible. Do not
dispose of batteries with domestic waste.
