Operation
Start-up
Note the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source
u
must match the voltage specified on the rating plate of
the charger. Chargers marked with 230 V can also be op-
erated with 220 V.
Charging process
The charging process begins as soon as the mains plug for
the charger is inserted into the mains socket and the battery
(1) is inserted into the charging slot (2).
Thanks to the intelligent charging process, the charge condi-
tion of the battery is automatically detected and then

charged up with the optimal charge current depending on
battery temperature and voltage.
In this way, the battery is treated with care and remains per-
manently fully charged when it is stored in the charger.

Wall mounting
The charger can be used either free-standing (for use on a
desktop) or mounted on the wall.
When affixing to the wall: Drill two holes, leaving a clearance
as specified in the image.
To secure it, use round-head screws with a diameter of 5 mm
to max. 6.5 mm.
The rapid-charging procedure is indicated by
flashing of the green battery charge level in-
dicator (4). The battery can be removed at any
time and used.
Once approx. 80% of the battery capacity has
been reached, the flashing of the green battery
charge indicator slows down. The rapid-char-
