Charging the battery
Place the battery to be charged in the proper direction
into the corresponding slot of an empty charger bay.
Only one battery can be charged in each charger bay at
a time. All charger bays can, however, be used simulta-
neously with any combination of battery types.
Oncethebatterytypeshavebeenidentiedthecharging
process starts automatically and the symbol is yellow
(g.2).
Depending on the charge status and type of battery, it
can take from about 15 minutes to around 60 minutes
to charge.
Once the battery is fully charged, the symbol is green
and the charger switches to maintenance charge
(g.3).Thebatterycanbeleftinthecharger.Leavethe
device switched on to ensure that the battery is always
fully charged.
If the battery is removed from the charger before the
symbol lights up green, it will not be fully charged.
Precautions:
• Insert the battery into the correct slot.
• Ensure that the battery is tted correctly and is
identied by the device (symbol is yellow).
• If the symbol does not light up after the battery is
inserted, remove the battery and insert again or
insert into another charger bay.
• Do not insert any objects other than batteries into
the charger, as the contacts may otherwise be
damaged.

ashing
Temperature monitoring
The battery and the charger heat up during the charging
process. The ventilation holes should therefore not be
covered.
If the battery temperature is too high, the symbol
startsashing(g.4).Toprotectthebattery,thedevice
stops charging until the battery has cooled down. Do
not remove the battery from the charger if this occurs
until the symbol stopsashingandstaysyellow.The
charging time will be longer in this case.
Charging new batteries or batteries not recently
used
Battery Power Line battery (530.620) or Colibri/SBD batter-
ies (532.003, 532.033) that have not been used for a long
period of time and that have not been stored in an acti-
vated charger do not reach their maximum performance
for several charging and discharging cycles. The charger
can be used to check the battery status and to refresh the
battery (see page 11).
Errors during charging
The following errors may occur while charging a battery:
Symbol flashes (fig. 4)
The battery is too hot and has to cool down before the
charging process can be automatically resumed. The
battery should be left in the charger until the battery
symbol lights up green. Otherwise, it is not ensured that
the battery is fully charged.
Symbol is red (fig. 5)
The battery is faulty and has to be replaced.
No symbol lights up
The battery has not engaged in the charging bay or has
not been recognized by the device. Remove the battery
and insert again or use another charger bay.
Precautions:
• Do not charge mechanically damaged batteries in
the charger.
• Only charge batteries authorized for the device
(see page 32).
• Only use fully charged batteries to avoid delays
during surgery.

Checking and Refreshing Batteries
Battery Power Line and Colibri/SBD batteries
The charger enables Battery Power Line battery
(530.620) and Colibri/SBD batteries (532.003, 532.033)
to be refreshed and checked.
Itwillbeindicatedifthebatteryperformanceissuf-
cient or if the battery needs to be replaced.
The following factors will affect the battery perfor-
mance:
• Unused, new battery
• Battery not used for a longer period
In these cases a battery will only reach its maximum
performance after several charging and discharging
cycles. The check and refresh function ensures that
the battery regains its maximum performance again.
• Old battery
The battery performance declines with age and usage.
With the check function it can be seen if the battery
performanceissufcient.Insomecases,batteriesthat
are too old can no longer be refreshed.
When required, the check and refresh function is started
manually, as outlined below.
After the battery is inserted, the symbol lights up
yellow. To refresh and check the battery, press the but-
ton with the exclamation mark for at least 2 seconds
(g.1)untilthesymbol lightsupyellow(g.2).The
device then carries out the process. The symbol is
yellow throughout this time.

Checking and Refreshing Batteries
Completion of the process is indicated as follows:
• Symbol isgreen(g.3):Batteryhasbeensuccess-
fully refreshed, checked and charged.
• Symbol isred(g.4):Eitherthebatteryisfaultyor
performanceisinsufcient.Thebatterymustbedis-
posed of.
The entire process (refreshing and checking battery
status) takes around 10 hours and should only
be carried out if there is enough time to do so.
A battery can be charged, checked or refreshed inde-
pendently in each charger bay.
Precautions:
• To recharge batteries normally, do not press the
exclamation mark button .
• Checking the battery status and refreshing the
battery have an impact on the battery. If this is
carried out frequently the lifespan of the battery
can be affected.
• Do not remove the battery from the charger bay as
long as the symbol is yellow (g. 2 on previous
page). Wait until the process has ended and the
symbols or light up. Only then is the battery
status clearly assessed.
• The process is interrupted if there is a power cut
or a switch to the emergency power supply and
will then have to be restarted.

Battery Power Line II and Colibri II/SBD II batteries
The charger enables Battery Power Line II and Colibri II /
SBD II batteries (530.630, 532.103) to be checked. It will
beindicatedifthebatteryperformanceissufcientorif
the battery needs to be replaced.
Due to the very low self-discharging rate of Lithium-
based batteries a refresh function is not required.
When required, the check function is started manually,
as outlined below.
After the battery is inserted, the symbol lights up
yellow. To check the battery, press the button with the
exclamation mark foratleast2seconds(g.5)until

Trauma Recon System power module
To ensure that the Trauma Recon System (05.001.201,
05.001.240) can operate safely and reliably, the Trauma
Recon System power module (05.001.202) has to be
checked at periodical intervals. It will be indicated if the
powermoduleperformanceissufcientorifthepower
module needs to be replaced.
The charger will indicate the necessity, but the user can
choose a convenient time to check the power module,
as this can take around 4 hours.
When it needs to be checked, the symbol ashes
(g.9).Thecheckneedstobecarriedoutwithinthe
next 3 charging cycles. This is done by pressing the ex-
clamation mark button foratleast2seconds(g.10).
The symbol light goes out and the symbol stops
ashingandstaysyellow(g.11).Ifthecheckisnot
carried out within the next 3 charging cycles, the device
carries out the check automatically.
Completion of the process is indicated as follows:
• Symbol isgreen(g.7onpreviouspage):power
module has been checked, charged and is ready to use.
• Symbol isred(g.8onpreviouspage):power
module has been checked, is not charged and cannot
be used; the red service indicator lamp on the power
module lights up. Send in the power module for ser-
vicing.
A power module can be charged or checked indepen-
dently in each charger bay.
Precautions:
• If the check is not carried out within the next 3
charging cycles, the charger starts this process
automatically. The symbol is yellow (g. 11).
• It takes around 4 hours to check the power
module.

Immediately recharge batteries and the power module
after each use.
Any Colibri/SBD batteries (532.003, 532.033) or Battery
Power Line battery (530.620) that are not used should
always be stored in the activated charger (maintenance
charge). This guarantees that the batteries are always
fully charged and ready to use.
It is not necessary to store Trauma Recon System power
module (05.001.202), Battery Power Line II battery
(530.630) and Colibri II/SBD II battery (532.103) in the
charger. Once charged they can be stored outside the
charger without any noticeable charge difference due to a
very low self-discharging rate of Lithium-based batteries.
Precautions:
• Do not use batteries/power modules that are not
fully charged. A partial charge may not be suf-
cient for the intended use.
• Unusable or faulty batteries/power modules should
not be used. They should be disposed of (see sec-
tion “Disposal” on page 20).

The Slot Covers Set (05.001.228) consists of three plastic
elements which were developed to cover the non-used
slotsofthecharger(g.1).ASlotCoverhelpstoinserta
battery or power module much easier into the Universal
Battery Charger II because it covers the unused slots of
thecharger(g.2).Therefore,itpreventstoinsertthe
appropriate battery or power module into the wrong slot.
