Friendly Robotics robomower RL1000 - Charging Using Indoor Power Supply Connected to the Charging Socket

5.3 Charging Using the Indoor Power Supply Connected to the Charging Socket
If the need arises, the Power Pack may be re-charged using the indoor Power Supply (available as an
accessory) and connecting it to the charging socket on the Manual Controller holder. This is designed
ONLY for indoor use and should never be used to charge the RoboMower while still docked in the
Charging Station.
When the charging plug is disconnected from the Manual Controller holder, the following message will be
displayed on the LCD screen. See Figure 5.3. Press any button on the Manual Controller and the main
screen, 'Manual – User Options’ display will appear on the LCD.
Connect the Power Supply to a regular household receptacle, 120 Volts AC (models outside the US utilize
230 volts mains power) and the output lead of the Power Supply, Figure 5.5, into the charging socket,
located under the Manual Controller holder, Figure 5.6, and the charging process will begin. Lightly pivot
the Manual Controller down, allowing it to rest gently on the charging cord. DO NOT attempt to force the
Manual Controller all the way to the flush position. The RoboMower Power Supply is designed for indoor
dry use only. Do not charge the RoboMower where wet contact is likely.
The LCD on the Manual Controller will display the text seen in Figure 5.7 and the battery icon will
continually move from empty to full to show the charging. Once the battery is fully charged, the message
will change to that as shown in Figure 5.8, reminding you to keep it connected to the Power Supply until
the next use.
