12. CHARGING THE BATTERY
The Flexistim IF is powered by a type BL-6F rechargeable
Li-ion battery.
The battery cannot be charged while it is in the unit. A separate
charging cradle and power adaptor are included in the kit.
The battery will only last about one hour's use at 30mA.
When the battery is running low, a low battery indicator
will show on the screen (battery symbol).
NB: Remove the battery from your Flexistim IF if the unit is unlikely to be used for a
long period.
When the battery is charged, the indicator light on the cradle will change from red to
green. For a replacement battery, contact Tenscare or your local distributor.
Use only the power adaptor and charging cradle supplied.
The Flexistim IF can also be operated directly from the power supply. Just plug it directly
into the socket in the side of the unit. This automatically disconnects the battery.
USE OF OTHER CHARGERS COULD BE HAZARDOUS AND WILL NEGATE
THE GUARANTEE
