1. Internal battery
The battery can be charged using the AC power adapter unit delivered with this
product.
Turn off NVSPRO+.
Connect the charger’s wall plug to the NVS’s "DC IN" slot.
Plug the AC power adapter unit into a wall socket.
The LED above the Control key shows red during the charging.
When the battery is charged, the red LED turns off.
If there is an error when charging, the LED blinks. If this happens,
unplug the AC adapter unit and plug it in again.
Users can charge the NVSPRO+ via the USB/IEEE 1394b (FireWire 800) cable,
or the AA battery holder.
With a completely empty rechargeable battery, the charging procedure lasts
approximately 4 hours using the AC power adapter, or the IEEE 1394b (FireWire
800) cable. With the USB cable, charging takes about 7 hours.
With the AA battery holder, charging takes about 10 hours. An AA battery pack
charges about 40% of the internal battery capacity.
6. About the Rechargeable Battery
Reference
● You must turn off the NVSPRO+ in order to charge the unit.
● The NVSPRO+ can be charged via USB without using the AC power adapter
included in the box. A high powered USB connection is needed, i.e. a USB
connection with its own power supply, such as the USB port of a computer or
a USB hub with a power unit.
● If the NVSPRO+ is operated with a notebook, you must always use the AC
power adapter unit to charge the NVSPRO+. Notebooks may not deliver the
necessary amount of current via USB
● The NVSPRO+ will operate for about two hours with a fully charged internal
battery.
● When connected to a computer using IEEE 1394b (FireWire 800) or USB,
the NVSPRO+ draws power from the computer, not the internal battery.
● If the NVSPRO+’s battery is completely discharged, the performance of
the battery may be degraded. It is recommended that the NVSPRO+’s battery
be recharged before the battery gauge reaches the empty level.
● See Chapter 8 for more information on the battery gauge.
A "Li-Poly" (lithium-polymer) rechargeable battery is integrated into the NVSPRO+.
This rechargeable battery does not have the so-called "memory effect"--
the rechargeable battery can be charged whenever you want. Furthermore,
it has a higher energy content than conventional NiCd and NiMH rechargeable
batteries. Note these important instructions when handling the Li-Poly
rechargeable battery.
The rechargeable battery can be recharged 400 times.
If the battery operation time gets shorter, it may be time to replace the battery.
Consult your authorized NEXTODI dealer to replace the internal battery.
Caution
● Never damage the rechargeable battery--do not remove it from
the NVSPRO+. Consult the chapter on "Battery Disposal". Damaging
the wrapping of the rechargeable battery might cause an explosion
or fire.
● Never short circuit the contacts of the rechargeable battery. Never
touch the connections or electrical components inside the NVSPRO+
with metal objects.
● Charge the rechargeable battery regularly, even if you do not use
the product. The NVSPRO+ needs some "current" (a small quantity)
at all times. Due to the Li-Poly rechargeable battery technology,
it is not necessary to discharge the battery before recharging.
Recharge the battery completely, about once a month. The device
will be ready for use at any time.
Caution
● Car charger cable should be used only for charging the internal
(or external) battery.
