Preparing the System For Use
Connecting the Battery
For safety, your Colour Video ToolCase is shipped with the
battery disconnected. Before using the unit for the first time
you will need to connect the battery. Likewise you should
disconnect the battery prior to shipping or transporting on
an aircraft.
To connect the battery:
• Remove the four screws holding the plastic pocket
underneath the LCD monitor and lift the pocket out of
the panel.
• Remove the rubber caps from the ends of the battery.
• Connect the red power lead to the positive (red) battery
terminal and the black power lead to the negative (black)
battery terminal.
• Replace the rubber caps and push the battery back into
place, being careful not to pinch the wiring.
• Replace the plastic pocket and screws.
Charging the Battery
The battery’s charge should be refreshed before using it for
the first time. To charge the battery, use the AC power cord
inside the pocket on top of the VCR.
NOTE: A battery that has been fully discharged during normal
use will be fully charged in approximately six hours.
CAUTION: The lid MUST be open during charging to vent
potentially explosive gases.
The Battery Status Lamp indicates the battery’s condition:
When running on internal battery power
Flash red slowly: Unit is running on battery power
Flash red quickly: Battery getting low
Nearly solid red: Battery extremely low, connect to external
power source. Unit may not operate
correctly.
While connected to an external Power Supply
Orange: Battery is charging.
Green: Battery is fully charged.
Red: Battery/Wiring problem (If the battery is properly
connected the battery may have reached the end
of its service life and needs to be replaced. Call your
RIDGID distributor for diagnostic help and battery
replacement information.
NOTE: If the red LED illuminates immediately after installing
the battery, verify that the terminals are wired correctly.
WARNING! Never store the Colour Video ToolCase with a
discharged battery. Damage to the battery may occur.
Powering the System
To turn the Colour Video ToolCase on, raise the monitor from
its stowed position and press the power switch.
NOTE: The unit will not turn on if the monitor is in its stowed
position.
