Handle C
For refitting:
Twist off the cap of the handle on the lower part of the handle.
For lithium batteries, the reducing sleeve is inserted into the handle shell with
the end where the spring tensioning ring is seated facing forward, and the LDO
controller is inserted in the direction indicated by the printed arrow. The lithium
batteries are inserted with the positive poles facing toward the upper part of the
handle. Screw the cap of the handle firmly back onto the handle.
Handle AA
For refitting:
Twist off the cap of the handle on the lower part of the handle.
For lithium batteries, the LDO controller is inserted in the direction indicated
by the printed arrow. The lithium batteries are inserted with the positive poles
facing toward the upper part of the handle. Screw the cap of the handle firmly
back onto the handle.
Remove the batteries by firstly screwing off the battery handle cover and then
shaking the handle a little.
Prior to initial use, the rechargeable batteries (in the Riester battery handle)
must be charged in the Riester ri-charger®. Separate operating instructions
are included with every charger and must be observed.
Handle types (2.2. c)
Prior to initial use of the plug-in handle, it should be charged for up to 24 hours
in the mains socket.
CAUTION: The plug-in handle (only for NiMH rechargeable batteries) must not
be charged for longer than 24 hours.
Screw off the handle cover on the lower part of the handle. Depending on which
handle you have purchased and for what voltage (see 2.2), insert the respective
rechargeable batteries into the handle casing. For 2.5 V rechargeable batteries
take care that the battery is inserted into the handle with the plus end towards
the top of the handle; you will also find an arrow next to plus symbol which
shows you the direction to insert into the handle. It is irrelevant in which direc-
tion 3.5 V rechargeable batteries are inserted. Screw the handle cover tightly
onto the handle again. Unscrew the lower part of the handle counter clockwise.
The mains socket pins become visible. Round pins are for 230 V mains operati-
on, flat pins are for 120 V mains operation Plug the lower part of the handle into
the mains socket for charging. Caution: The handle must never be in the mains
socket when the rechargeable batteries are replaced! If you wish to replace the
®
ri-accu
battery, unscrew the battery handle cover on the lower part of the
handle counter clockwise. Remove the ri-accu
le by shaking down the handle downwards a little. Insert the ri-accu
into the battery handle. For 2.5 V rechargeable batteries, take care that the bat-
tery is inserted into the handle with the plus end towards the top of the handle;
you will also find an arrow next to plus symbol which shows you the direction to
insert into the handle. It is irrelevant in which direction 3.5 V rechargeable batte-
ries are inserted. Screw the battery cover clockwise onto the handle. Technical
data: Either 230 V or 120 V
CAUTION:
• If you do not plan to use the device for a long time or if you take it on a
journey, remove the batteries and rechargeable batteries from the handle.
• New batteries should be inserted once the light intensity of the instrument
becomes weaker.
• To obtain the best possible light output we recommend always fitting high
quality batteries (as described in 2.2).
• If you suspect that liquid or moisture could have entered the handle, it must
not be charged under any circumstances. This could lead to a life-threa-
tening electric shock, especially in the case of plug-in handles.
• To extend the service life of the ri-accu
should only be charged once the light intensity of the instruments has
become weaker.
Waste disposal: Please note that batteries and rechargeable batteries must be
disposed of as special waste. You can obtain the relevant information from your
local authority or from your local environmental advisor.
2.4. Fitting instrument heads
Fit the required instrument head on the receptacle on the upper part of the
handle such that the two recesses of the lower part of the instrument head fit
on the two protruding guide studs on the battery handle. Press the instrument
head lightly on to the battery handle and screw the handle clockwise as far as it
goes. The head is removed by screwing counter clockwise.
2.5 Switching Type C and AA battery handles on and off
Activate the instrument by turning the switching ring on the top of the handle
clockwise direction. To switch off the instrument turn the ring anti-clockwise
direction until the device is swithced-off.
2.6. rheotronic
With the rheotronic it is possible to modulate the light intensity for the C and
AA handles. Depending on how often you turn the switching ring clockwise or
anti-clockwise direction, the light intensity is stronger or weaker.
ATTENTION: At every switch-on of the battery handle the light intensity is at
100% Automatic safety switch-off after 180 seconds.
