4.1 Low battery indication RVL RF
Exchangeable battery pack supplies power to the RVL RF .
When the voltage level of the battery pack is running low, the low bat indicator will light up and “F1” will
start blinking in the display.
The blue LED on the bluetooth module will start blinking very slowly (twice every 10 sec). The RVL RF
will switch off automatically after 10 minutes.

Smart charger: When the battery is being charged, the red LED on the charger is lit. After at least 8
hours charging, the charger shuts off and the the batterypacks are completely full. The red LED turns
off and the green LED will illuminate.
