2. Do not mix alkaline, or rechargeable (Ni-MH) batteries.
3. If the unit is not to be used for an extended period of time,
remove the batteries. Old or leaking batteries can cause
damage to the unit and will void the warranty.
Charging The Rechargeable Batteries:
The rechargeable batteries, supplied with the unit, are
charged by connecting the AC Adaptor plug to the DC12V
jack on the top of the unit, and setting the CHARGE switch
to the ON position. Use only the AC Wall Adaptor that is
supplied with the base unit. The CHG. LED indicator below
the LCD display lights

during battery charge operation.
The battery charge indicator icon displays the battery charge level
when the AC adaptor is unplugged. When the AC adaptor is connected
and in use, the indicator icon will indicate a full charge as shown below.
Full Battery - three segments are illuminated.
Low Battery - one segment is illuminated.
Approximately 20–24 hours are required to fully charge the batteries.
The red LED charging indicator (12) will light whenever the batteries
are charging. A flashing red LED-charging indicator denotes batteries
are not installed. You must set the CHARGE switch to the OFF
position, when using any batteries other than the ones provided.
Failure to do this may cause damage to batteries resulting in personal
injury and/or damage to the unit.
Caution: The charging adaptor is intended for use with the supplied
rechargeable Ni-MH batteries. Do not attempt to recharge
any other type batteries.
