Operational Overview The power for the BaseStation is supplied by an AC Adapter/Charger (a wall mounted 13VDC power supply). When the AC Adapter/Charger is properly connected to the BaseStation and a monitor is placed within the station the green “In Use” LED will illuminate.
To charge the battery in a monitor using the BaseStation: 1. Connect the AC Adapter/Charger to the BaseStation power input jack, then connect the AC Adapter/Charger to an AC source. 2. The BaseStation is now powered from the AC Adapter/Charger. If a hand-held monitor is placed within the BaseStation the internal battery of the monitor will be charged (provided that a rechargeable battery is in the monitor).
