Devices such as this one, which generate direct current, may have an effect on basic residualcurrent circuit breakers. Use type F or better, with a release current of max. 30 mA.
Self-test
Insert mains supply plug. The warning display (3) and the operating display (4) light up in succession for approx. 1 second.
Use
Charging battery pack
Insert battery pack (1) up to the stop in the charging compartment (2). The operating display (4) flashes and the battery is charged.
