Optelec Compact

4. Power and battery use

+
When the AC power adapter is disconnected, the Compact power source is a battery pack of
two rechargeable AA batteries. Off-the-shelf AA batteries can also be used, either rechargeable
or disposable. In the interests for the environment and optimal power, we advise you to use
rechargeable batteries.

Charging the batteries

+
To charge the Compact battery pack supplied with the unit, connect the adapter supplied to
the DC IN 5V jack, located on the bottom side and then plug it into a mains power outlet. The
orange LED indicator next to the adapter socket will glow continuously while the battery pack is
charging. When the battery pack is fully charged the orange LED light will switch off.
If the LED indicator starts to flash, it means there is a charging problem. Disconnect the
adapter, check if the battery pack is placed correctly in the compartment and try again.
+ +
Charging the Compact takes approximately five hours. A fully charged Compact will operate
for approximately two hours and thirty minutes. Please note that, for safety reasons, only the
+
batteries supplied with the Compact can be charged in the unit's battery compartment.
