Range of applications: The HEINE^® mini NT is designed exclusively for charging HEINE mini 2000^® and mini 3000^® rechargeable handles.

Please note:
The performance of this instrument can only be guaranteed if genuine HEINE instruments and spare parts are used.

General safety: Under no circumstances should the mains transformer housing or charger be opened. Repairs may only be carried out by qualified personnel (exception: changing the rechargeable battery).Do not use the charger if fit is defective in any way.

Safe installation: The charger must be placed on a solid surface. Do not place the mini NT on soft furniture, cloth or carpet. Do not insert any objects in any opening in the housing.

Safety in use: The mini NT may only be used at the mains voltage specified on the identification label. Unplug the unit from the mains if not in use over long periods. If liquid enters the housing, ensure that the unit is tested immediately. The mini NT must not be used in rooms where an explosion hazard is present.

Installation and use

• The mini NT fulfils the requirements regarding the electromagnetic compatibility. However, its function might be affected by electrical and magnetic fields, such as those which occur in connection with radiological devices or mobile telephones.
• Plug the mains transformer into the mains and the charger is ready for use.– mini NT ensures that batteries are kept in the ideal state of charge irrespective of handle size.
• When replacing the handles in the charging compartments, ensure that the internal contacts in the compartment are clean and that the instruments are switched off.
• Instruments placed next to each other must not touch each other.
• The HEINE^® mini NT charger can be used to charge both mini 2000 and mini 3000 handles by means of an adaptor set.
• The adaptors can be replaced simply so that the handles are always correctly positioned. The charger must be disconnected from the mains supply before the adaptors are fitted.
• Ideally, the rechargeable handle should always be replaced and stored in the charger. Handles cannot be overcharged.
• To ensure perfect operation, please allow one second between removal and replacement of the handle.
• The rechargeable battery can only be charged when fitted to the handle.
• The handles will only recharge if the correct mini NT metal bottom inserts are fitted instead of the standard plastic unit normally fitted to the battery handle.
• The pulsating light around the charging compartment shows that current is flowing and that the battery is being recharged.
• When the light is permanently lit, the charging sequence is completed. The battery in the handle is fully-charged and is ready to supply maximum power.
• When the handle is fully-charged, the current to the charger is reduced. This economy status is indicated by the charging compartment ring, which is lit at reduced brightness.
• The light stays off when the charging compartment is empty or of the charger is defective.

Cleaning and Maintenance

• We recommend that external surfaces of the mini NT be wiped clean with a disinfectant cleaning wipe. This should only be carried out by qualified personnel.
• Any disinfectant used must be approved by the disinfectant manufacturer for use on plastics. The manufacturer`s instructions must be followed.
• The external surfaces may also be wiped clean with a cloth moistened with water or with a neutral pH or slightly alkaline cleansing agent.
• Isopropyl alcohol may only be used at concentrations up to 70%.
• Spray disinfection and soaking are not permitted and may cause damage.– The article can be neither machine-cleaned, nor disinfected at high temperature or sterilized. These processes lead to irreparable damage to the product.
