7 Troubleshooting
NOTE
A flashing red LED on the intelligent battery clamp indicates that a safety function is
active. Also the buzzer may sound.
For more information refer to chapter “Protective functions” on page 17.
After a flashing red LED, disconnect and reconnect the plug (fig. 73, page 15) before
using the device again.
Problem Cause Remedy
The power capacity of the
device is shown at 100%, but
did not fully charge in charg-
ing process.
This situation can occur when
the device is in a semi-state of
charge, which is conducive to
long-term storage when the
device is not in use for long
time.
Pull out the charge plug, then
reinsert.
The device is defective. Contact a service centre.
Nothing happens when
switching the device on, dis-
play stays dark.
Low voltage protection of the
device is active and the
device can not be turned on.
Insert the charger plug into
the 9V/2A input port to acti-
vate.
The display is defective. Contact a service centre.
Red LED on the intelligent bat-
tery clamp at the intelligent
battery clamp is flashing.
A flashing red LED on the
intelligent battery clamp indi-
cates that a safety function is
active.
