Entsorgung

Read all instructions. Failure to follow all instructions listed below

may result in electric shock, fire and/or serious injury. The term "electrical device", as used in the following, refers to mains operated electrical devices (corded) and to battery operated (cordless) electrical devices.

In these operating instructions the radio charger is also referred to as an electric device or as a charger.

Save these instructions.

1) Work area

a) Keep work area clean and well lit. Cluttered and dark work areas invite accidents.
b) Do not operate the unit on easily inflammable surfaces (e.g. paper, textiles, etc.) or in inflammable environments. Fire hazard due to occurring heat build-up.

2) Electrical Safety

a) The plugs of electrical devices must match the outlet. Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapter plugs with earthed (grounded) electrical devices. Unmodified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of electric shock.
b) Do not misuse the cord. Never use the cord for carrying, pulling or unplugging the electrical device. Keep cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges and moving parts. Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric shock.
c) When operating an electrical device outdoors, use an extension cord suitable for outdoor use. Use of a cord suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.
d) Connect electrical devices that are used outdoors via a residual current device (RCD).
e) Connect the electrical device to a mains supply that is properly connected to earth. Socket and extension cord must have an operative protective conductor.

f) Protect the electrical device from rain and moisture. The penetration of water in a battery charger increases the risk of electric shock.
g) Do not charge the batteries of other manufacturers. Danger of fire and explosion. The device is only suitable for the charging of Bosch batteries (NiCd/NiMH) with a voltage range of 12V and 24V .
h) Keep the battery charger clean. Contamination may result in danger of electric shock.
i) Check the electrical device, cable and plug each time before using. Do not use the electrical device when defects are detected. Do not open the electrical device yourself and have it repaired only by qualified personnel using original spare parts. Damaged electrical devices, cables and plugs increase the risk of electric shock.

3) Service

a) Have repairs performed only by a qualified technician and only using original spare parts. This ensures that the safety of the electrical device is maintained.

Replacing the Remote Control Batteries

Unscrew the battery compartment screw on the rear side of the remote control and remove the lid.
Replace the battery (type CR2032) and fasten the lid with the screw again.

Charging a Battery

Inserting a Battery (see figures F und G)

Open the battery compartment lid 48 by unlatching the locking lever 47.
Insert the battery 50 into the charging compartment 49 as indicated in the figure.

Charging Procedure

The charging procedure starts as soon as the mains plug is plugged into the socket and the battery is inserted into the charging compartment 49.

Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condition of the battery is automatically detected and the battery is charged with the optimum charging current, depending on battery temperature and voltage. This gives longer life to the battery and always leaves it fully charged when kept in the radio charger for storage.

The charging procedure is indicated through the indicators in the display 4. During the rapid-charging procedure, the "CHARGING" indicator 35 and the "Battery inserted" indicator 36 appear. The charging procedure is ended when the "CHARGING" indicator 35 goes out. The charger switches to the trickle charging mode, which equalizes the natural running-down of the battery. (CHARGING)

If the battery warning indicator 34 appears when a battery is inserted, then the battery temperature is not within the allowable temperature range (0^ - 60^) and will not be charged. Bring the battery temperature within the allowable temperature range by cooling down or warming up. As soon as the battery temperature is within the allowable temperature range again, the battery charger automatically switches to rapid charging.

The charged battery can be removed from the charging compartment 49 or used as a mobile power source for the radio charger instead of a mains supply, when left in the charging compartment.

Check the temperature of the battery before removing it. The battery can warm up considerably during charging.

Practical Advice

A new battery or one that has not been used for an extended period of time requires five charging/discharging cycles to gain its full capacity. Leave the battery in the charging compartment until it has warmed up.

A significantly reduced working period after charging indicates that the battery is used up and must be replaced.

12 V Connection (see figure E)

You can connect an external electrical device/unit with a 12V plug and a maximum current consumption of 1 A. When operating the radio charger with the inserted battery, the connection socket is switched off.

Remove the protective cap of the 12 V connection socket 46 on the left side of the radio charger.
Insert the plug of the external device into the socket of the 12 V connection 46.
If a 12 V voltage is not present, check the fuse 45. For this, unscrew the fuse cap. Insert a 5 × 20 ~mm fuse with a 1 A rating, if required. Afterwards, firmly screw on the fuse cap.

Only use the specified 1 A fuse. Use of other fuses can cause damage to the radio charger.

Integrated Power Outlets

Two protective contact power outlets 43 are integrated in the radio charger for the supply of power to external power tools. The maximal allowable current consumption of the connected power tools may not exceed the value listed in the following table. The power outlets can vary depending on country-specific standards. The power outlets are deactivated when operating the radio charger via the inserted battery.

Replacing the AAA Batteries

Open the battery compartment lid 48 by unlatching the locking lever 47.
■Slide the plastic lever to the side and remove the lid of the battery compartment 51.
Replace the AAA batteries and reattach the lid of the battery compartment 51 again.

Maintenance and Service

Maintenance and Cleaning

Before any work on the radio charger, pull the mains plug from the power outlet.

If the radio charger should fail despite the care taken in manufacturing and testing procedures, repair should be carried out by an after-sales service centre for Bosch power tools

In all correspondence and spare parts orders, please always include the 10-digit article number on the type plate of the radio charger. The type plate is located on the bottom side of the radio charger.

Mains Cable

The mains cable is fitted with a special safety connection. The mains cable may only be replaced by an authorised after-sales service agent for Bosch power tools.

WARNING! This appliance must be earthed.

Important instructions for connecting a new 3-pin plug.

The wires in the cable are coloured according to the following code:

Do not connect the blue or brown wire to the earth terminal of the plug.

Important: If for any reason the moulded plug is removed from the cable of this machine, it must be disposed of safely.
