Where P is the maximum output power of the transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer and d is the recommended distance in meters (m). Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as determined by an electromagnetic site survey, should be below the compliance level in each frequency range. In the vicinity of devices marked with the following symbol, interference may occur:

NOTE 1: At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.

NOTE 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. The electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection by structures, objects and people.

a.)

Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (mobile/cordless phones) and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcasts and television broadcasts, cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location where the charging station is used exceeds the RF compliance level specified above, the charging station should be monitored to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be required, such as re-orienting or relocating the charging station.

b.)

With a frequency range over 150 kHz to 80 MHz, the field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.

START-UP AND OPERATION

The ADC Diagnostix Desk Charging Base is suitable for charging of 2.5V or 3.5V handles.

a) Preparation prior to charging
Ensure that the charging base is positioned on a level surface. Do not position unit in the direct vicinity of a radiator. Protect against direct sunlight.
Fluids must not penetrate into the interior of the enclosure. Do not use fluids in close proximity of the charging base.
Connect unit to an electrical outlet. Ensure that the voltage stated on the rating plate on the bottom of the unit agrees with the mains voltage. After connection of the charging base, a self-test is performed. During the test, the LEDs on the front of the unit will be repeatedly switched on.
When charging 19mm handles (AA size), insert plastic reducers in handle recesses. When charging 28mm handles (C size), remove reducers from handle recesses by lifting in an upward direction before inserting handle.
The ADC Diagnostix Desk Charging Base may be used for charging 2.5V and 3.5V rechargeable batteries. The charging chambers are interchangeable and may be used with 2.5V or 3.5V battery handles. A 2.5V and 3.5V unit may be charged simultaneously.
b) Charging
- The rechargeable battery is tested when inserted into the charging chamber. At voltages of less than 1.5V, the rechargeable battery is either fully discharged or faulty. The charging base will try to recharge the battery by applying a pulsating charging current. The yellow charging LED will flash.
- For rechargeable battery voltages of more than 1.5V, charging will commence. The yellow charging LED will turn on.
c) Charging Time
- The end of the charging time is detected by evaluation of the negative voltage differential caused by heating of the rechargeable battery cells when fully charged. The yellow charging LED will switch off and the green “rechargeable battery full” LED will switch on.
Guidance and manufacturer‘s declaration – electromagnetic emissions

The charging station is intended for use in the electromagnetic environment specified below.

The customer of the user of the charging station should ensure that it is used in such an environment.

Emissions testing| Compliance| Electromagnetic environment guidance
RF emissions CISPR 11| Group 1| The charging station uses RF energy for its internal function only. Therefore, the RF emissions are very low and are unlikely to cause interference in nearby electronic devices.
RF emissions CISPR 11| Class B| The charging station is intended for use in all facilities, including residential areas and those directly connected to a public supply net- work that also supplies buildings used for residential purposes.

MAINTENANCE

These instruments and their accessories do not require any specific maintenance. Should an instrument have to be examined for any specific reason whatsoever, please return it to ADC.

ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY (EMC)

Follow the instructions during the installation and operation of the device. To avoid electromagnetic interference with the operation of the device, do not use the device at the same time as other electronic devices. To avoid electromagnetic interference with the operation of the device, do not use or stack the device near, on or under other electronic devices.
Do not use the device in the same room as other electronic devices, (e.g. life-supporting devices that have a significant impact on the life of the patient and treatment outcomes) or other measuring instruments or treatment devices that use little electrical power.
Do not use cables or accessories that are not specified for this device, as this can increase the emission of electromagnetic waves from the device and reduce the device’s electromagnetic immunity.

The maximum charging time for NiMH rechargeable batteries is limited to <650 minutes (10.8 hours). The maximum charging time for Li-ion rechargeable batteries is limited to <480 minutes (8 hours).
When the rechargeable battery is fully charged (green LED on), the unit will switch to maintenance charge.
The temperature inside the charger base is monitored. Do not keep in sunlight, or close proximity of a radiator, as over heating may cause premature actuation of the automatic switch-off mechanism shutting the charger off before completing a full charge.
Caution
**** When the handle is removed from the charging chamber for a few seconds while the rechargeable battery is fully charged (green LED on) without switching on, initially the yellow charging LED will be switched on when reinserting the unused rechargeable battery. However, this is not due to malfunction of the charging base but the described “rechargeable battery full” sensor.
When the rechargeable battery is full, no negative voltage differential can be recorded. The rechargeable battery must first heat up in order to signal “rechargeable battery fully charged.”
• The time prior to the green “rechargeable battery fully charged” LED switching on again may vary considerably (15 minutes or longer). Additional temperature sensing and a timer, however, ensure that the charging process is carefully monitored at any time.

We recommend keeping the instrument in the charging chambers after use to ensure that instruments are always ready.

SPECULA COMPARTMENT

The specula compartment may be used for spare specula and lamps.

WALL MOUNTING

The ADC Diagnostix Desk Charging Base may be mounted on the wall.

To Mount : Hold wall rail in place on the wall where intended for mounting. Level and mark hole positions with a pen. Drill 5 mm (3/16”) wide holes. Insert the supplied mollys in the holes. Position spacer holes over the mollys and affix rail over the spacer and secure to the wall with the screws supplied (fig. 1). Slide unit bracket guide slots of the ADC® DiagnostixTM Desk Charging Base plate onto the wall rail. When fully inserted, the bottom cover tab will engage and lock in the recess of the wall rail (fig. 2). Position the power cord either to the right or left behind the base to accommodate electrical outlet (fig. 3).
To remove: Press the bottom tab lock, which allows the unit to slide from the rail (fig. 4).

CLEANING AND DISINFECTION

Prior to cleaning or disinfection of the unit disconnect mains cable from socket.

Cleaning and/or Disinfection
The ADC Diagnostix Desk Charging Base may be cleaned externally with a damp cloth. In addition, the following disinfectants may be used for external disinfection: Aldehyde (formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, aldehyde derivatives), surfactants or alcohols. After disinfection, wipe the instruments with a damp cloth to remove any remaining disinfectant.
Never place the charging station in liquids. Use a soft lint free cloth or cotton swabs to prevent damage to charging base.

Sterilization
According to the Test Centre for Medical Devices in Tübingen, Germany, sterilization is only prescribed in the case of operative procedures. There is no necessity for sterilization of this charging base.
