Rapid Cigarette Lighter Charger (LCH-9)
You can charge your
phone's battery from
your vehicle battery by
using the Rapid Ciga-
rette Lighter Charger
(LCH-9).
Calls are possible during charging. A green light indicates the
charger is ready for charging (when not charging) or finished
charging (if it has been charging). The battery charging times
are the same as those for the Rapid Travel Charger (ACP-9U)
The input voltage range is from 11 to 32V DC, negative
grounding. Avoid prolonged charging with the Rapid Ciga-
rette Lighter Charger (LCH-9) when the car engine is not
running; this may cause the battery of your car to drain. Note
also that in some cars the cigarette lighter plug is not pro-
vided with electricity if the ignition is not switched on.
Compact Desktop Charging Stand (DCH-8)
Used together with the Standard
Travel Charger (ACP-7U) or the
Rapid Travel Charger (ACP-9U),
the Compact Desktop Charging
Stand (DCH-8) is an economical
choice when you need your
phone close at hand.
With the battery still attached, place your phone in the
charging stand to begin charging your phone's battery.
Charging is indicated by the scrolling battery bars on the
right side of your phone's display. When the scrolling stops,
the battery is approximately 80% charged.
To get a fully charged battery, leave your phone in the charg-
ing stand for a couple of hours after the scrolling stops.
