4 INSTALLATION
4.1 The BC60K battery charger
Connect the charger to the mains using the power source and the cable supplied. The red
LED, in the middle, should light up indicating power ON.
When installing the battery charger, bear in mind that the batteries must be charged at
temperatures over 5ºC (41F) and that the power supply must be left on all night. Also
remember that the charger must not be left in direct sunlight, as the batteries may not
become fully charged at temperatures
exceeding 35ºC (95F).
Place the batteries in the charger.
There is green LED on top of each
battery. Each LED should light up,
indicating that recharging is in
process. Complete recharging takes
approximately 12 hours. After
charging process is finished, the
green LED is turned OFF. The
batteries may remain in the charger
for an unlimited period of time.

The capacity of the batteries decreases with use. Their life span is estimated to be 500
recharging cycles, but this depends largely on the conditions of use, for which the
following is recommended:
Do not recharge the battery until it is completely empty. The transmitter indicates this.
Always charge the batteries at temperatures between 5º(41F) and 35ºC (95F).
Avoid short-circuits between the battery contacts. Do not carry charged batteries in
toolboxes or next to other metal objects (keys, coins, etc.).
Always keep contacts clean.
Never leave batteries in direct sunlight.
