are used.
Warning: The device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g., mobile telephones, microwave ovens). These can lead to temporary impairment of the ADC Diagnostix™ Desk Charging Base.
Warning: Do not use batteries, electrical cords other than those included with this product or replacement parts supplied by the manufacturer.
Warning: This product may contain a chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm.
Caution: The standard material used is latex-free.
4. START-UP AND OPERATION:
The ADC®Diagnostix™ Desk Charging Base is available as a 230v or 120v model and 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 and 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 inhandle recesses. When charging 28 mm 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 respectively. 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. The charging time is limited to max. 4.75 h by the internal timer.• 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.
Warning!
When the handle is removed from the charging chamber for a few seconds• whilst 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 to keep the instrument in the charging chambers after use to ensure that instruments are always ready.
5. SPECULA COMPARTMENT
The specula compartment may be used for spare specula and lamps.
6. WALL MOUNTING
The ADC®Diagnostix™ Desk Charging Base may be mounted on the wall. Hold wall rail to the place on the wall intended for mounting. Mark holes with a pen and drill holes of 5 mm (3/16”). Insert the dowels supplied. Position rail holes on the dowels and fix to the wall with the screws supplied. Then slide unit on bracket to allow the wall rail to be introduced into the two guideslots of the ADC®Diagnostix™ Desk Charging Base plate. Ensure that the bottom cover tab engages in the recess in the wall rails.
Remove unit by pressing in the bottom tab, allowing the unit to be simply taken from the rail.
7. LED INDICATORS

8. CLEANING AND DISINFECTING
Prior to cleaning or disinfection of the unit disconnect mains cable from socket.
Cleaning and/or Disinfection
The ADC cloth.
In addition, the following disinfectants may be used for external disinfection: Aldehyde (formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, aldehyde derivatives), surfactants or alcohols.
