Charging the Receiver Batteries

The vLoc3 series receivers can be used with the alkaline or the custom Li-ion rechargeable battery pack.
The central illuminated section within the battery icon indicates the amount of charge remaining.
• Blue centre indicates alkaline batteries.
• Green centre indicates rechargeable batteries.
• When batteries are low the charge remaining section becomes red and will flash.
• Just before shutdown the following symbol will be shown:
Rechargeable batteries are supplied with a mains charger specific to the batteries. Avoid using other manufacturers' chargers as
these may damage the battery and may result in overheating. To charge the battery, first make
sure the battery pack is inserted in the receiver's battery compartment as charging is done with the battery inside the receiver.
Connect the charger to the receiver's charging/accessory socket. Connect the charger to the mains and switch it on. The LED
indicator on the charger will illuminate red until the batteries are fully charged, at which time the LED will change to green.
