recommendations
EKP V is provided with a Li-Ion rechargeable
battery. The battery compartment is in the
back side of the unit, under the battery cover.
DANGER: Never operate or store EKP V
without the battery cover in place.
DANGER:
The battery could explode in
case of improper use or short-circuit.
Battery is recharged connecting EKP V to
a power source (10/35 V DC) using the
cigarette lighter power cable or the wall
charger, both delivered together with the
EKP V.
DANGER:
Use only the original cables
provided in the box to power EKP V.
Full charge of battery requires about 6 hours.
EKP V can be operative while charging; in
this case the full charge of battery could take
