After successful power connection, charging will begin as the LCD screen of the charging base lights up, and the current battery level will be displayed on the screen.

Battery installation and replacement

1. Battery installation: open the battery cover, and insert battery with the cell facing the inside, and the battery will be locked by the metal clips.
2. Battery replacement: this device supports battery replacement with uninterruptible power supply. This device is powered by 2 batteries. Please replace the batteries one by one, and ensure that at least one battery remains inside to power the device. Unless the device is connected to external power supply, do not take out 2 batteries at the same time, otherwise the device will stop working due to interruption of power supply.
   

Notes:

1. The base station can be fitted with 2 batteries. The estimated service time is 6 hours with one battery and 12 hours with two batteries.
2. Do not charge batteries which are not intended for use by this device, to prevent personal injury and property loss caused by battery damage, liquid leakage and even explosion.
3. Improper use of the charger may result in damage and personal risks.
4. Do not use the charger under wet conditions.
5. Do not dismantle or repair the charger by oneself, to avoid damage to the charger.
