General Description 

 

F Series Battery Charger and Li-Ion FBP Batteries 

The DigiTrak

 F Series

™ Battery Charger (FBC) includes AC and DC power cords and an 

AC adapter. Rechargeable lithium-ion (li-ion) F Series battery packs (FBP) are included with 
a complete locating system and also sold separately. The battery packs power all current 
DigiTrak receivers and battery-operated remote displays. The FBC battery charger can 
operate from AC (100

–240 V, 50–60 Hz, 1.5 A max.) or DC (10–28 V, 5 A max.) power 

sources. The AC power cord provided with your 
charger is standard to your global region. 

A fully charged F Series FBP will power an F5 
receiver for approximately 10 hours or an FSD 
remote for approximately 14 hours before 
recharging is necessary. A battery pack can be 
recharged about 400 times before the battery life 
is substantially reduced.  

To check the charge status of a battery 
pack at any time, press the battery status 
button below the five LEDs. The LEDs indicate the 
charge level, with each representing 20% of the 
charge. 

Insert a fully charged DigiTrak F Series battery 
pack so it is flush with the back of the receiver and the tab is securely latched. To remove the 
battery pack, push down on the battery tab and pull the battery pack out and up from the 
battery compartment.
