Charging Batteries Before Use

Removing the
Battery from the
ProFlex 500
Charging the
Battery
Make sure the battery is fully charged for each ProFlex 500
you will be using in the field. Follow the instructions below to
charge a battery.
Unless the battery has already been taken out, do the
following:
• Open the battery trapdoor, accessible from above the
ProFlex 500, by lifting and then turning the quarter-turn
finger screw anticlockwise. This releases the two springs
located under the battery, pushing the battery slightly
upward (see picture).
Grab the battery and take it out of the compartment.
The battery charger comes with a separate universal AC
adapter fitted with a 1.5-m output cable. The AC adapter
includes a choice of four different, detachable plug types.
Follow the instructions below to operate the charger.
• Choose the plug type that is suitable for your country.
• Secure that plug on the AC adapter by giving the plug the
right orientation with respect to the adapter, then pushing
and rotating it by about 10 degrees clockwise until you
hear a "click".
• Connect the cable from the AC adapter to the battery
charger.
• Give the battery the right orientation with respect to the
charger [1] (the battery terminals should come into
contact with the two sets of connectors on the charger),
then push the battery against the plate and slide it forward
[2] until it locks into place.
