Recharging the battery pack
Warning: Recharging the battery
Only recharge the rechargeable NiMH battery pack supplied
with your aurora
Sonata
.
You must not recharge the battery if the temperature is below
0°C or above +35°C.
-1-
Plug the power adaptor/charger into the mains
supply and aurora
Sonata
’s power supply socket.
Warning: Using the adaptor/charger
aurora
Sonata
is intended for use only with the adaptor/charger
with which it is supplied. If you use any other adaptor/charger,
you may damage the tester or battery, and invalidate
equipment warranties and approvals relating to safety or
electromagnetic compatibility.
The battery is initially charged at a high current (‘fast
charging’). This means it will be almost fully charged in 1-1½
hours (medium capacity pack) or 2-3 hours (higher capacity
pack). During fast charging, the Bat LED lights up green.
Tip
You can use aurora
Sonata
while the battery is recharging. You can
also disconnect the adaptor/charger at any time during the
charging cycle: when you reconnect, a new cycle begins.
-2-
Continue until the battery is fully charged.
When fast charging is complete, the Bat LED glows green less
brightly. The battery is now being charged in ‘pulses’. This is
the ‘top off’ stage, which ensures that the battery is fully
charged: it lasts for 1½ hours (medium capacity pack) or 3
hours (higher capacity pack).
When charging is complete, the LED glows green very dimly,
to indicate that the battery is being ‘trickle charged’.
