mounting pod can use either the wireless or the wired

to the optional mounting pod.
7.1.1 BATTERY CHARGING
For cordless operation, the FalconHR battery handle must
be charged before use. The battery may be charged while
attached or removed from the unit. To remove the battery
handle, turn the unit upside down, press the blue handle
release button (latch) located directly behind the handle,
and slide the handle off the unit. Connect the battery
charging cable to the input connector on the bottom of the
handle.
The standard charger supplied with units sold in the
United States is a trickle (timed) charger, which will
recharge the FalconHR’s battery in 14-16 hours then shut
itself off. The charging time will vary depending upon the
amount of discharge, but typically overnight will
completely charge the FalconHR’s battery. Please note—
any interruption in the 110V power supplied to the charger
will cause it to reset and begin the charging cycle again.
The optional fast charger allows charging directly from the
vehicle’s cigarette lighter receptacle. When using this
charger, the FalconHR may be operated with no decrease
in the radar’s effectiveness. Charging will take less than 2
hours, even with the radar in normal use. The optional AC
adapter allows charging from standard AC current (110V
or 220V). Charging will take approximately 1 hour, and is
shown by a steady green LED. Full charge is shown by a
flashing green LED. Once full charge has been reached,
the charger ceases charging and goes into a maintenance
mode, protecting the battery against overcharging. A red
LED indicates the battery is out of temperature tolerance
and cannot be charged until its temperature falls within the
proper range.
