Use as a Battery Charger

Make sure to charge the battery on a flat surface without vibration. Placing the dock on an unstable surface may result in injury or damage from falling.
Battery cannot be charged by USB bus power. Make sure to use the AC adaptor.
To mount the dock on a wall, firmly tighten the screws to prevent it from falling.

1. Connect the supplied AC adaptor to the dock.
2. Place the logger into the dock and charging will begin.
   • Once the logger is recognized, the Blue LED on the dock will light up.
   • Once charging begins properly, the Green LED on the logger will light up and the LCD display will turn off.

Please stop using in the following situations.

• The Red LED on the dock is ON:
  If the dock recognizes an irregular electrical activity, it automatically stops charging and the Red LED will light up. Unplug the AC adaptor and check the following:

  1. that there are no metallic objects between the dock and the logger(s), and
  2. if the logger(s) are properly placed on the dock.
     The Red LED on the dock may light up for just a moment due to power fluctuation. There is no problem unless the Red LED remains on.

• The Orange LED on the logger is BLINKING:
  If the body of the logger gets too hot (over 40°C), the Orange LED will start blinking and battery charging will temporarily stop. Once the body cools down, charging will restart.

• If, after checking the above and resetting the logger several times, the Red LED on the dock remains on, please stop using the dock and contact your distributor.

Use for Remote Unit Registration

For details about registration and settings, refer to [RTR500BW + RTR-600 Setup Guide (PDF)] that is available for download from T&D Website. tandd.com/manual/
Download and install the software “RTR500BW for Windows” from T&D Website, and follow the directions as they appear to complete the registration and setup process.

Place the logger into the right side (with Optical Communication Area) of the dock.
Make sure to push down on the logger until you hear a “click” sound.

Once the registration and setup are complete, make sure to remove the logger from the dock to avoid wireless communication failures due to battery charger noise.
