Display key battery
General information
Observe the following information:
▷ If the charge state of the display key bat‐
tery declines, the display is switched off
automatically. The battery must be re‐
charged so that the display can be
switched back on. The operability of the
standard buttons is retained until the bat‐
tery is completely discharged.
▷ Charge the battery for at least three hours
before using the display key for the first
time or if the key has not been used for an
extended period.
▷ The display key can be used while it is be‐
ing charged. If the battery is fully dis‐
charged, it may take some time before the
display key can be used again.
▷ Due to the large number of USB chargers
available on the market, it cannot be guar‐
anteed that every charger will function
properly. The charging duration depends
on the charger used.
