Charging the ADN-W BA
For optimum performance, durability and maintenance of the
ADN-W BA battery pack, please observe the following:
•You can immediately use the ADN-W BA battery pack (bat-
tery capacity of approx. 30 % upon delivery). You only have to
recharge the battery pack when the battery charge is low. An
initialization charge is not necessary.
•You can charge the battery pack at any time and for as
long as you want. A complete charge cycle (100 %) is not
necessary.
•You do not have to regularly deep-discharge the battery pack
to reach an optimum battery life cycle.
•If the displayed remaining operating time of the battery pack
significantly differs from the actual operating time, you can
re-calibrate the operating time display. To do so, completely
discharge the battery pack and then fully recharge it again
(100%).
•After charging, the battery pack can remain in the charger.
The intelligent charging electronics monitors the charging
process and prevents incorrect battery charging.
•When not using the wireless conference unit for extended
periods of time, remove the battery pack from the device.
Cover the contacts to avoid short circuits.
•When storing the battery pack for extended periods of time,
charge it to approx. 50% of capacity.
•Only store the battery pack within the specified storage tem-
perature range (see page 9).
