POWER SUPPLY

•Mains charger CMA-70-230 (with the standard charger cable
FMC70 or robust charger cable FMC79)

•Cigarrette lighter charger CCS-71-12

•Standard Li-Ion batteries 650 mAh (BBL77S), 900 mAh
(BBL77N), 1200 mAh (BBL77P), 1700 mAh (BBL77G)

•Special Li-Ion battery 1200 mAh including Vertical sensor com­ponent (BBL79P). This special battery only works under these
conditions: The NT 2.0 software is installed and the Vertical
sensor feature is purchased and activated in the device.

The battery type may vary depending on the market area and
sales package. In unclear cases, check the battery compatibility
with the dealer.

MAINS CHARGER

The mains charger should only be used indoors. Make sure that
the voltage in the country which you are staying corresponds to
the voltage (230 V) of the charger.

When charging, connect the round end of the charger cable into
the charger base and lock it by turning it half a turn clockwise.

SERAPH NT 2.0 QUICK GUIDE

Plug the cable´s square end/flat end (with the arrow/button fac­ing up) into the system connector on the device. Plug the charg­er into a mains outlet. Charging will start automatically.

CHARGING

The device controls the charging status, the battery temperature
and power supply during the charging operation.

The ideal temperature range for charging is +10°...+30°C. If
charging the battery above or below these temperatures the life
of a battery may be shortened. Also, the battery may not reach
full capacity.

When charging the Li-Ion batteries with the quick charger, about
70% of the battery capacity will be charged quickly, but charging
the remaining 30% takes relatively more time. Also note that hu­midity, temperature, age of the battery and currently used fea­tures (e.g. the GPS) affect the time spent on charging.

BATTERY CARE, MAINTENANCE AND DISPOSAL

The continuous operating time is less when using an old battery
than a new battery. When storing batteries for a long time, the
batteries should be kept cool and fully charged in a dry place.

Li-Ion batteries do not contain heavy metals which can damage
the environment. Li-Ion batteries should be disposed of accord­ing to the country-specific regulations.

ENVIRONMENTAL EFFECTS IN USAGE

SIGHT

The device must have an unobstructed view to satellites at any
time. In marginal conditions (e.g. when staying in surroundings
with heavy tree cover or in a shadow area in between base sta­tions) an external GPS antenna, possibly even a GSM antenna,
must be installed.

The device can be used like a standard GSM phone. In some cas­es, the device can be built in clothes or special vests. If the device
is mounted somehow, it must be attached to the surface so that
the back of the device is facing up. To ensure proper functioning
of the GPS, the GPS antenna can be covered with plastic, fiber
glass or clothes, but not with metal.

The water level indicates charge left in the bat­tery. The higher the level, the more charge is left.

During charging, the water level will move upwards
and downwards, freezing for a quick moment to show
the current charge status, and start over.
When the water level stops moving, the battery is fully
charged (or the charger is disconnected).

Battery failure/Battery too cold/Battery too warm.
Shown in the middle of the display. Simultaneously,
the Failure tone is played once.

SM NETWORK STATUS

G

GSM is on

GSM is off/Incorrect PIN code has been entered, or
invalid SIM card inserted.

A triangle is shown beside the GSM icon when the

device is roaming (using other than own network).

Bars on the right indicate strength of the GSM net­work. The more bars and the taller the bars, the better

the GSM network.

- Four bars - high network strength

- No bars - no network.

GPS POSITIONING STATUS

GPS is active

GPS is sleeping

TEMPERATURE RANGES

•Usage: -20 to +55 °C with a standard Li-Ion battery

•Charging: Standard Li-Ion battery must not be charged below
°0. Likewise, charging above +55 °C is prevented.

At temperatures below -25 °C, or above +60 °C, the battery will
not supply power and the device cannot be used. Upon warming
up/cooling down, the device will function properly again.
