6.2 PARENT UNIT WITH RECHARGEABLE BAT TERY & R APID CHARGER
6.2.1. Operation using the NiMH rechargeable battery
-
Press and slide open the battery door in the direction indicated.
-
Insert the NiMH rechargeable battery pack supplied in the battery compartment. Make sure
the two terminals on battery pack are in contact with the metal springs located inside the
compartment.
6.2.2. Operation via the AC mains using the intelligent rapid charger
-
Connect the output plug of the 6V switching power supply contained to the DC jack (26) of
the rapid charger. Pay attention to correct polarity.
-
When the parent unit is switched off, place it in the rapid charger. The charging indicator (27)
will light up red and green alternately while detecting the status of the battery charge.
-
Adjust the position of the parent unit in case the indicator does not light up. After 5 sec, the
charging indicator (27) will start flashing red when the battery is being charged. Once the
battery is fully charged (this normally takes about 4 hours), the charging indicator (27) turns
green. The parent unit can now be switched on for operation. You can either take it out of the
rapid charger or leave it in; leaving it in the rapid charger does not damage the battery.
-
In the latter case, when the battery is being consumed and voltage falls to a certain level, the
rapid charger automatically starts charging the battery again.
