3. Charging
The irCUE 99 and irCUE wireless remote control panels are powered from internal accumulators
1 100 mAh.
To charge the accumulators, use the delivered power supply adapter. The connector for connecting
the charger is on the bottom side. Charging time for fully charged accumulator is 15 hours. Longer
charging time is not dangerous because the protection against overcharging is built-in.
It is recommended to connect the panel to the charger at the end of every working day. Connect the
charger to the panel also in case you find the lower range of the transmission or when the
backlight brightness is reduced.
