Charge Indicators – The LEDs
Each battery charge well is equipped with an LED to indicate the charge status of the battery. When a battery is inserted in the charger, the colour and behaviour of the LED associated with the charge well in use indicates the status of the charge. Refer to the table below the heading
Charger LED Indicators on page 5-12
for details.
Troubleshooting
Excessive Charge Duration
The charger is equipped with a recalibration function – a function that fully discharges and then fully recharges the battery. This process is necessary to recalibrate the battery capacity gauge internal to the battery. The charger attempts recalibration when:
• the battery capacity is at less than 30%, and
• the battery has undergone more than 40 partial charge cycles since the last full discharge.
Indicator Flashing Red
If the indicator flashes red:
• Remove all batteries and disconnect the mains power cable.
• Wait at least 20 seconds, and then plug the cable in again.
If any of the charge well LEDs continue to flash red, the charger is defective and requires service. If all indicators are flashing red, there is a power supply problem and the charger requires service.
Power LED Does Not Light Up
• Remove all batteries, and unplug the charger.
• Connect another device to the mains outlet to ensure there is power.
• Remove the IEC mains power cable from the charger, and check it for damage.
• Reconnect the mains cable in the charger and mains outlet.
If the power LED still does not light up:
• Unplug the mains cable, and check the fuse at the rear of the charger.
If the fuse appears to be intact, the charger requires service.
Indicator Does Not Light When Battery Installed
• Remove the battery, and clean the contacts on the battery and the charge well.
• Reinstall the battery, and check that it is fully seated in the charger well.
• Inspect the charge well contacts for damage (are they bent, flattened, twisted or broken).
• Try inserting a battery that you know to be working in the charger well.
• Reconnect the mains power cable, and check that the charger well indicator flashes at power up.
The Vehicle Cradle
The vehicle cradle is a highly ruggedized, single station cradle. Although it provides quick insertion and removal, the cradle holds the Workabout Pro4 securely even when operated in high vibration environments.
The model number for vehicle cradles varies depending on the type of hand-held:
