Charging the
Battery
The battery comes with four LEDs indicating the current
battery charge status. Push the button by the LEDs to check
the battery charge status. All lit LEDs means the battery is
fully charged. If none of them lights up when pushing the
button, then the battery is exhausted and needs recharging.
The battery may be charged in two different ways:
• Leave the battery within the receiver’s battery
compartment and charge it from the external DC source
you are using to power the receiver. The charging state will
be reported as an icon on the General Status screen (see
page 27).
• You may use the dual-battery charger provided as part of
the receiver shipment.
Before inserting the battery, you must first insert a spacer
in each of the battery slots (see picture below where the
two spacers provided have been inserted into the charger
and the battery has then been inserted into one of them).
Two battery spacers/inserts are also provided with the
receiver shipment.
Connect the charger to the power supply block (provided),
which you then connect to the power line.
Charging takes approximately 3 hours at room
temperature. If two batteries are inserted in the battery
charger, then the batteries will be charged sequentially,
from left to right.
Warning: Ensure that nothing obstructs the vents in the
back and bottom of the charger and that the charger is
placed on a hard, flat and level surface, to ensure that
there is airflow under the charger. Do not operate the
battery charger while it is in the transport case.
