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 maximum 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!

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-thre-
atening 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.
4.4. Disposal:
Please note that (rechargeable) batteries must be disposed of specially. Infor-
mation about this can be obtained from your municipality or from your respon-
sible environmental consultant.
5. Attaching instrument heads
Attach the required instrument head to the mount on the upper part of the
handle so that the two recesses on the lower part of the instrument head align
with the two protruding guide pins of the battery handle. Gently press the instru-
ment head onto the battery handle and turn the handle clockwise until it stops.
The head is removed by turning it anti-clockwise.
5.1. Switching on and off
With battery handles type C and AA, switch on the instrument by tapping the
switching ring on the upper part of the handle in a clockwise direction. To turn
the instrument off, turn the ring anti-clockwise until the device turns off.
5.2. rheotronic® for regulating light intensity
The rheotronic® allows for the light intensity on the type C and AA battery hand-
les to be adjusted. The light intensity will be weaker or stronger depending on
how often you tap the switch ring in the clockwise or anti-clockwise direction.
