4.2 Battery operation
You can also operate the device independently of the mains power supply with the supplied
integrated VRLA rechargeable batteries. Rechargeable devices can be charged during mains
operation.
NOTICE!
Possible damages by using non-rechargeable batteries
When using non-rechargeable batteries, dangerous corrosive substances may
leak. Additionally, fire hazard exists!
Exclusively use rechargeable batteries.
Rechargeable batteries are charged automatically during mains operation. During the
charging the battery control LED „CHARGE“ on the rear side of the device is illuminated. If the
batteries are charged, this LED fades. To avoid overcharging of the batteries, take the batteries
out of the battery compartment or disconnect the device from the mains supply and run it in
battery mode.
We recommend using Ni-MH-batteries (nickel-metal hydride). Maximum operation time is
approx.10 hours.
