3. CONTRAINDICTIONS
There are no known contraindictions. The device is only intended for the use
specified in the instructions for use.
Recommended distances between portable and mobile RF communications equipment
and the
charging stations.
The charging station is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF distur- bances are controlled. The customer or
user of the charging station can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance between portable and mobile RF
communication equip- ment (transmitters) and the charging station as recommended below, according to the maximum output
power of the
communications equipment.
For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended distance d in metres
(m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maxi-
mum output power rating of the
transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the distance for the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. The electromagnetic propagation is affected by
absorption and reflection by
structures, objects and people.

The charging station is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below.
The custo
mer or user of the charging station should ensure that it is used in such an environment.

a.)
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (mobile/cordless phones) and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and
FM radio broadcasts and television broadcasts, cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due
to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location where the charging
station is used exceeds the RF compliance level specified above, the charging station should be monitored to verify normal operation. If abnormal
performance is observed, additional measures may be
required, such as re-orienting or relocating the charging station.
b.)
With a frequency range over 150 kHz to 80 MHz, the field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

instrument before cleaning or when disinfecting.
Warning: The device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong
electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g.,
mobile telephones, microwave ovens). These can lead to temporary impairment
of the ADC Diagnostix Desk Charging Base.
Warning: This device must be used in a controlled environment. The device must
not be exposed to harsh environmental conditions.
Warning: Do not use batteries or electrical cords other than those included with
this product or replacement parts supplied by the manufacturer.

6. START-UP AND OPERATION:
The ADC Diagnostix Desk Charging Base is suitable for charging of 2.5V or
3.5V handles.
a) Preparation prior to charging
• Ensure that the charging base is
positioned on a level surface. Do not
position unit in the direct vicinity of a
radiator. Protect against direct sunlight.
• Fluids must not penetrate into the interior
of the enclosure. Do not use fluids in close
proximity of the charging base.

• Connect unit to an electrical outlet. Ensure that the voltage stated on the
rating plate on the bottom of the unit agrees with the mains voltage.
After connection of the charging base, a self-test is performed. During the
test, the LEDs on the front of the unit will be repeatedly switched on.
• When charging 19mm handles
(AA size), insert plastic reducers in
handle recesses. When charging
28mm handles (C size), remove
reducers from handle recesses by
lifting in an upward direction before
inserting handle.
• The ADC Diagnostix Desk Charging Base
may be used for charging 2.5V and 3.5V rechargeable batteries.
The charging chambers are interchangeable and may be used
with 2.5V or 3.5V battery handles. A 2.5V and 3.5V unit may be charged
simultaneously.
b) Charging
• The rechargeable battery is tested when inserted into the charging
chamber. At voltages of less than 1.5V, the rechargeable battery is either
fully discharged or faulty. The charging base will try to recharge the battery
by applying a pulsating charging current. The yellow charging LED will flash.
• For rechargeable battery voltages of more than 1.5V, charging will
commence. The yellow charging LED will turn on.
c) Charging Time
• The end of the charging time is detected
by evaluation of the negative voltage differential
caused by heating of the rechargeable battery
cells when fully charged. The yellow charging
LED will switch off and the green “rechargeable
battery full” LED will switch on.

The charging station uses RF energy for its internal function only. Therefore, the RF
emissions are very low and are unlikely to cause interference in nearby electronic
devices.
The charging station is intended for use in all facilities, including
residential areas and
those directly
connected to a public supply net- work that also supplies buildings
used for residential purposes.
Compliance Electromagnetic environment guidance

• The maximum charging time for NiMH rechargeable batteries is
limited to <650 minutes (10.8 hours). The maximum charging time for
Li-ion rechargeable batteries is limited to <480 minutes (8 hours).
• When the rechargeable battery is fully charged (green LED on), the
unit will switch to maintenance charge.
• The temperature inside the charger base is monitored. Do not keep
in sunlight, or close proximity of a radiator, as over heating may
cause premature actuation of the automatic switch-off mechanism
shutting the charger off before completing a full charge.
Caution:
• When the handle is removed from the charging chamber for a few
seconds while the rechargeable battery is fully charged (green LED on)
without switching on, initially the yellow charging LED will be switched
on when reinserting the unused rechargeable
battery. However, this is not due to
malfunction of the charging base but the
described “rechargeable battery full” sensor.
• When the rechargeable battery is full, no
negative voltage differential can be recorded.
The rechargeable battery must first heat up in
order to signal “rechargeable battery fully charged.”
• The time prior to the green “rechargeable
battery fully charged” LED switching on
again may vary considerably (15 minutes
or longer). Additional temperature sensing
and a timer, however, ensure that the
charging process is carefully monitored at
any time.
We recommend keeping the instrument in the
charging chambers after use to ensure that instruments are always ready.

maintenance. Should an instrument have to be examined for any specific
reason whatsoever, please return it to ADC.
13. ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)
Follow the instructions during the installation and operation of the device.
To avoid electromagnetic interference with the operation of the device, do not
use the device at the same time as other electronic devices.
To avoid electromagnetic interference with the operation of the device, do not
use or stack the device near, on or under other electronic devices.
Do not use the device in the same room as other electronic devices, (e.g. life-
supporting devices that have a significant impact on the life of the patient and
treatment outcomes) or other measuring instruments or treatment devices that
use little electrical power.
Do not use cables or accessories that are not specified for this device, as this
can increase the emission of electromagnetic waves from the device and reduce
the device’s electromagnetic immunity.

7. SPECULA COMPARTMENT
The specula compartment may be used for spare specula and lamps.
8. WALL MOUNTING
The ADC Diagnostix Desk Charging Base may
be mounted on the wall.
To Mount: Hold wall rail in place on the wall
where intended for mounting. Level and mark
hole positions with a pen. Drill 5 mm (3/16”)
wide holes. Insert the supplied mollys in the
holes. Position spacer holes over the mollys
and affix rail over the spacer and secure to
the wall with the screws supplied (fig. 1).
Slide unit bracket guide slots of the ADC®DiagnostixTM
Desk Charging Base plate onto the wall rail. When fully
inserted, the bottom cover tab will engage and lock in
the recess of the wall rail (fig. 2). Position the power
cord either to the right or left behind the base to
accommodate electrical outlet (fig. 3).
To remove: Press the bottom tab lock,
which allows the unit to
slide from the rail (fig. 4).
