7.0 USING THE RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES

Selecting the power supply
• On the rear of the microscope you find a 3-positions switch to control the power supply of
the illuminator.
• A full charge of the battery provides about 2 hours of continuous use at maximum light
intensity, or about 3 hours at medium intensity.
• The typical lifetime of the internal battery pack is about 500 charge/discharge cycles.
Recharging the battery
• In order to guarantee an optimum battery life and efficiency, always follow these steps to
recharge:
♦ Connect the charger to 230V line voltage (WARNING: not compatible with 110Vac)
♦ Check the settings for voltage and charging current:
Position I: power supply from line voltage
Position 0: illuminator OFF
Position II: power supply from internal battery
Voltage: 8,4V
Current: 1000mA
