III. Detailed Instructions
Preparation
Charging the batteries
Battery BP 511 is discharged on delivery of the unit. Before use, charge the battery using
the enclosed charger. So that the charger can be used in almost any country, the delivery
package contains various exchangeable mains plugs. Fit the appropriate plug and ensure
the correct mains voltage (110 V to 220 V).
The charger has the following status indicators:
Constant green light:
Ready to use, but no battery inserted
Constant red light:
Battery charging
Flashing green:
Inserted battery is charged
Place the battery in the charger, ensuring that it is the correct way around. Then connect
the charger to the socket. After charging, the mains plug must be disconnected from the
socket. Charge the batteries at an ambient temperature of around 10°C to 35°C.
If the operating time is severely decreased even when the battery is charged correctly,
it is likely that the battery life of the battery has expired. In this case, use a new battery of
type BP 511. Use only high quality batteries with a minimum capacity of 1400 mAh.
A fully charged battery with a capacity of 1400 mAh will take around 400 images in
approx. 4 hours with the monitor constantly switched on. The exact number of images
that can be captured is highly dependent on the usage conditions.
Ensure that the screen is never switched on for longer than necessary. Using the SWITCH
OFF and POWER SAVE functions will significantly extend the useful life of the battery.
The remaining battery power is shown on the top right of the screen when the PhotoScope
is switched on. If the display flashes red, charge or change the battery immediately.
Note:
The battery does not charge in the PhotoScope when the mains plug unit is connected.
