3.3 Charging the battery

 The battery's charge level is shown by the LED battery charge indicator on the
control panel.
 As the integrated battery is not automatically kept at fully operational level, you will
need to check the battery charge level regularly and, when necessary, have service
personnel replace it. The battery may be replaced by authorised and trained service
personnel only. You can check the battery status by switching on the device.
 The battery must be fully charged prior to first use.
1. Charge the battery at the latest when the battery charge indicator's red LED lights
up.
2. Only use the enclosed mains power unit (REF 011.1363.0).
3. Please observe the notes in chapter "6.3 Handling batteries" on page 30. Try to
avoid charging the battery only briefly, as this can damage the battery.
