Getting Started
1) Charging the Battery Pack
Prior to first use the battery pack should be fully charged, ideally overnight.
The Pocket Pump MTX series pumps must only be charged using the correct SKC chargers (Part Nos. 223-
229A - single charger, 223-107A - five station charger).
The chargers are supplied with mains input plugs suitable for use in the UK, Europe, USA and Australia / New
Zealand. Select the correct mains input plug and fit it to the charger.
Plug the charger output jack plug into the mating socket at the base of the pump. Plug the charger into the
electrical mains supply and switch on the power. The LED indicator on the charger will illuminate to indicate
that the battery pack is connected.
The battery status icon on the pump LCD screen will flash to indicate that charging is taking place. Depending
on the charge state of the battery at the start of charging it will take up to six hours to fully charge the
battery. The Pocket Pump includes an intelligent charging circuit which detects when the battery pack is fully
charged, therefore charging may complete in less than six hours. When full charge has been detected the
pump automatically switches to a trickle charging mode.
At the end of charging the battery status icon will be on (not flashing) and showing three bars to indicate full
charge. If the battery icon remains flashing after six hours, this indicates a charging error. It is recommended
to disconnect and reconnect the charger, and if this condition persists after a further six hours of charging,
it would indicate a fault with the battery pack or charger. Contact SKC Limited customer services for further
advice.
When fully charged disconnect the charger jack plug from the battery pack.
