6.3 Charging the rechargeable batteries
Charging the battery pack of the device is started automatically after connecting:
2 V DC power supply adapter,
charging cable for the car cigarette lighter.
Charging is indicated by the icon next to the battery symbol on the top bar and by the
H.V./REC/CONT. diode. The temperature of the battery and the ambient temperature influence the
charging process. If the battery temperature is below 0°C or higher than 45°C, the charging process is
stopped.
Indication of charging status

o meter off – diode H.V./REC/CONT. is lit green
o meter on – charging signalled only by an icon on the display
damage
o meter off – diode H.V./REC/CONT. flashes green every 0.5 second
o meter on – error signalled by an icon on the display
Due to interferences in the network or to high ambient temperature, the charging pro-
cess of rechargeable batteries may finish prematurely. When charging time is too short,
turn off the meter and start charging again.
