Batteries,
Scenario #2
• Keep the batteries in the receiver.
• Use the AC/DC power block ([1]) that you connect to the
receiver’s serial port through a jack/SAE adapter ([2]) and
one of the possible two SAE/Lemo cables ([3]).
More details are provided on the next page explaining
which cables can be used as cable [3].
• Connect the AC/DC block to the power line using the
appropriate power cord ([4).
As in scenario #1, only one battery is charged at a time with
this scenario, provided the receiver is kept turned off and the
internal temperature is within tolerances. Charging will start
automatically for the second battery when it is complete for
the first one.
NOTICE - If your receiver is used with the UHF kit option, the
temperature inside the receiver may be greater than 40°C at
the end of your day. This may be due to the additional power
consumed in the radio module or/and to high ambient
temperature.
If this happens and you attempt to charge the batteries right
at the end of your day using the AC/DC power block (that
means, with one, or the two batteries left inside the receiver),
the two battery LED indicators will start blinking red at a fast
rate, meaning battery charging is not allowed to start at that
time (see Possible Error Statuses on page 26).
You should not however worry too much and just keep the AC/
DC power block connected to the receiver. As soon as the
receiver temperature drops below 40°C, battery charging will
start. One of the battery LED indicators will then start
blinking red at a slow rate, meaning the corresponding battery
is being charged. Then the second battery will be charged in
turn. You can be sure your two batteries will fully charge
overnight.
