    1.- INSTALLATION 1.1.- SAFETY RECOMMENDATIONS - The unspecified use of the equipment does not ensure its protection. - If the external DC adaptor is a class I device, for security reasons it should be connected to properly grounded supply lines. - This equipment can be used in Excess Voltage Category II installations and Pollution Degree 2 environments.

  • Page 8: Power Supply

    1.2.- POWER SUPPLY The H45 has two functioning modes: using external powering and using its battery. 1.2.1.- External powering A DC adaptor is provided with the equipment, enabling its connection to the power grid, both for its operation and battery charging. It is lodged in a special section of the equipment carry case.
  • Page 9 To restart the process, press the same key again. Charging will also restart if external powering is disconnected and reconnected or if the equipment is turned off. The equipment carries out a continuous monitoring of battery status informing the user of the battery charge through an icon, a LED (Battery) and a sound signal.
