The second battery can be inserted in the battery charging well in back of the terminal connection. Place the battery in the well with the label facing up and toward the back of the unit. Angle the battery as shown. Once the connectors engage, the LED lights. If the LED is red, the unit is charging; if it is green, the charge is complete.

It takes less time if the battery has some charge. For more details about charging, see Battery Charging on page 11-2. ! ! ! We recommend use of Honeywell peripherals, power cables, and power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell peripherals, cables, or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty. We recommend use of Honeywell Li-Ion battery packs. Use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not covered by the warranty. Ensure all components are dry prior to mating batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty. QuadCharger Device Charging Slots Status LEDs Power Supply Connector Charging Slots The charger contains four charging slots. Each slot holds one battery. When a battery is placed in a slot, it immediately begins charging and its Status LED lights. Status LEDs A status LED is located at the end of each of the four battery slots. The color of the LED indicates the charge status of the battery in the slot. Green The battery has completed its charge cycle and is ready for use. Red The battery is charging. 11 - 1 Power Supply Connector Use this connector to attach the power supply to the charger. The universal power supply accepts input voltages between 90–265 volts. Battery Charging Charging Process This charger charges Dolphin 6500 Li-Ion 3300mAh packs in an average of 5 1/2 hours for a fully depleted battery. It takes less time if the battery has some charge. Each charging slot works independently of the other three. As battery packs charge, the charging circuitry follows the two-step charging process (CCCV) that is recommended for Li-Ion batteries. The process monitors changes in temperature, current, and voltage. Temperature The six-hour charge time applies when batteries are charged within the recommended temperature range of 50° to 95° F (10° to 35°C). Temperature has a significant effect on charging. For best results, battery packs should be at room temperature before inserting in the charger. When the battery temperature exceeds 40°C, the charger may exceed the stated six-hour charge! time. The charger stops charging if the battery temperature is greater than 40°C, but will begin charging again when the battery temperature is less than 40°C. Charging Batteries 1. Supply the charger with power. 2. Insert batteries into the appropriate slots. The Status LED for each slot turns red to indicate that the battery is properly seated and has begun a charge cycle. 11 - 2 3. When the Status LED turns green, the battery in the slot has completed charging. Recommendations for Storing Batteries To maintain top performance from batteries, follow these storage guidelines: • Avoid storing batteries outside of the specified temperature range of -4 to 104°F (-20 to 40°C) or in extremely high humidity. • For prolonged storage, it is recommended that the battery be at a 40% - 50% charge level, be removed from the device, and stored in a controll...
