Mains operation (with mains adapter)
Note:
Check if the mains voltage on the mains adapter type plate corresponds
to your local mains supply.
The only way to disconnect the device from the mains supply is to
unplug the adapter. Only unplug the mains adapter from the socket
when you are not using the device.
1Plug the mains adapter cable into the »DC IN 4,5V« socket on the
device.
2Insert the mains adapter plug in the socket.
Battery operation
1Unplug the mains adapter from the device and open the cover of the
battery compartment on the bottom of the device.
2Insert two batteries (Mignon type, e.g. 2 x 1.5V, LR6/AM3/AA),
observing the polarity on the bottom of the device.
Note:
The batteries are switched off during mains operation.
If the battery symbol flashes in the display, the batteries are getting low.
If the batteries are low, the device automatically switches off.
Remove the batteries when they are flat or when you know that the
device will not be used for a long period of time. No liability is accepted
for damage resulting from leaking batteries.
Using rechargeable Nickel-Cadmium batteries
When using Nickel-Cadmium batteries (NiCd, size AA 1.2 V/600 mAh),
use the supplied mains adapter as a charger.
1Remove the cover of the battery compartment on the bottom of the
device.
2Insert two batteries, observing the polarity marked on the bottom of the
device.
3Plug the mains adapter into the »DC IN 4,5V« socket on the device
and plug the mains adapter into the mains socket.
Note:
When buying NiCd batteries, always make sure that approximately
3 mm of the metal end at the negative pole is visible (see illustration).
If necessary, use a knife to remove the insulation.
Completely charge up the batteries before you first use them or if you
have not used them for a long time.
The charging time is approximately 12–14 hours. Using the device
while the batteries are charging increases the charging time.
The ambient temperature should be between 5°C and 40°C.
