Intermec Trakker Antares 2400, TRAKKER Antares 064667 User Manual

Important Precautions

• This battery charger is intended to charge only the SONY NP-500
series of battery packs (such as NP-520, NP-500, and NP-F530).

• Attach the battery pack firmly.

• Charge the battery pack on a flat, vibration-free surface.

• The battery pack gradually discharges even if it is fully charged.
Intermec recommends that you charge the battery pack immediately
before use, or at least within a couple of days before use.

• Intermec recommends that you remove the battery pack from the
charger within 24 hours after charging is completed.

• The temperature range for charging is 0ºC to 40ºC (32ºF to 104ºF).
However, for maximum battery pack efficiency, the recommended
temperature range when charging is 10ºC to 30ºC (50ºF to 86ºF).

• Be sure nothing metallic comes into contact with the contacts.

• Do not disassemble the charger. There are no user-serviceable parts
in the charger.

• While the charger is in use, it becomes warm. This is normal.

• Do not place the charger in locations that are extremely hot or cold,
dusty or dirty, very humid, or subject to vibration.

• Unplug the battery charger immediately and contact your Intermec
service representative if the status light continues blinking or fails to
light, if any part of the charger appears worn or damaged, or if any
difficulty arises while using the battery charger.

Installing the Battery Charger

For security purposes, you may want to install the battery charger as
described below. Steps 1 and 2 are optional.

1. Attach the two sheet metal mounting straps to the bottom of the
battery charger with the two flathead screws provided.

2. Attach the battery charger to a clean, stable, flat work surface using
your own screws or bolts (up to 1/2 inch diameter).

3. Plug the power cord into the charger and a wall outlet. If you do not
have a power cord, see “Ordering Power Cords for the Battery
Charger.”

Charging a Battery Pack

You can charge up to four battery packs simultaneously, and you can
load the battery packs into any slot. The charging time depends on the
condition of the battery pack. Usually a battery pack is fully charged in
two hours. If two battery packs are in adjacent slots, each may take four
hours to charge.

Loading a Battery Pack Into the Charger

Press the battery pack against the battery charger and slide the battery
pack down until it is seated firmly in the charger.

Interpreting the Status Lights

Each charger slot has an orange status light which indicates the status of
the battery pack in the slot. Next to each light is a line which points to the
slot the light is for. Use this table to interpret the status lights:
