Select a conveniently located, flat-panel surface of sufficient size to accommodate the unit. The unit can be mounted in any orientation and will comply with NFPA 1901-14.1.11.2 and EN1846-2. The XS Charger attaches through with five (5) #10 Hex Head Drilling Screws that are also provided with the unit . Allow 6-inch clearance above the charger to remove TXS.

NOTE
The XS Charger should be connected to an un-switched fused circuit such as the apparatus battery that continues to provide power when the vehicle is not in use. Wiring the XS Charger to a switched circuit or through a relay may result in discharged imager batteries if the vehicle is left idle for periods of more than a few days at a time.

INSERTING THE TXS INTO THE XS CHARGER

To store the TXS in the XS Charger, a battery must be installed in the camera. Without a battery installed, the rubber strap will not secure the camera properly. Therefore, storing a camera without the battery installed can result in non-compliance with NFPA 1901-14.1.11.2 and EN18462. Set the imager firmly into place in the XS Charger. Maintain the unit in position, fold over the rubber strap and attach inN place so that the rubber ball fits into the hook.

REMOVING THE TXS FROM THE XS CHARGER
Pull down on the rubber strap until the rubber ball comes loose from the hook, unfold the rubber strap and remove the camera from the charger.

INSERTING THE SPARE RECHARGEABLE BATTERY INTO
THE XS CHARGER

The XS Charger charger is designed so that a spare battery, or second camera can be recharged on the same unit. Set the battery firmly into place in the XS Charger. Maintain the battery in position, fold over the rubber strap and attach in place so that the rubber ball fits into the hook.

WARNING

The XS Charger is compliant with NFPA 1901-14.1.11.2 and EN1846-
2 and is able to be mounted in any orientation. Please use caution when choosing a mounting location so that, if the camera is accidentally dropped while being installed in the XS Charger, it will not injure anyone nearby. For this reason, we do not recommend mounting the XS Truckmount Charger on the ceiling of any vehicle. Use only a fused power source of 2 amp capacity and 12-24 VDC voltage. Ensure that the polarity of the power supply wiring is correct. Failure to follow these instructions could result in serious injury or malfunction of the unit.
