Operation with Battery Pack Note: Use of batteries not suitable for the construction site ra- dio can lead to malfunctions of or cause damage to the con- struction site radio. Note: The battery pack is supplied partially charged. To en- sure full capacity of the battery pack, completely charge the battery pack in the battery charger before using for the first time. Use only the chargers listed in the technical data. Only these chargers are matched to the lithium-ion batteries permitted for use in your construction site radio. The lithium-ion battery can be charged at any time without re- ducing its service life. Interrupting the charging procedure does not damage the battery. Insert a battery into the battery port 17 in such a manner that the connections of the battery face against the connections in the battery port 17, and allow the battery to engage in the bat- tery port. The battery charge-control indicator b appears on the display as soon as a battery pack with sufficient voltage is inserted and the construction site radio is not connected to the mains supply via the power-supply plug 24. The battery charge-control indicator b indicates the current battery pack status. When the battery charge-control indica- tor flashes, the battery pack must be charged. To remove the battery pack 15, press the unlocking buttons 16 and pull the battery pack out of the battery port 17. Operation with Power-supply Plug Observe the mains voltage! The voltage of the power source for the power-supply plug must correspond with the data on the type plate of the power-supply plug. Open the protective cap of the 12 V connection socket 23. In- sert the plug-in connector 25 of the 12 V power-supply plug into the 12 V connection socket 23. Connect the power-sup- ply plug to the mains supply. Use only the original Bosch power-supply plug intend- ed for your construction site radio. This measure will en- sure proper operation of the construction site radio. After removing the plug-in connector, reattach the protective cap of the 12 V connection socket 23 to protect against dirt/debris. When not using the power-supply plug 24, it can be stored in the storage compartment of the construction site radio. For this, disengage the locking latch 21 and open the lid 20 of the storage compartment. Inserting/Replacing the Back-up Battery In order to store the time in the construction site radio, back- up batteries have to be inserted. Using alkali-manganese bat- teries is recommended for this purpose. To open the battery compartment, loosen screw 18 and re- move battery lid 19. Insert the back-up batteries. When in- serting, pay attention to the correct polarity according to the representation on the outside of the battery lid. Mount the battery lid 19 again and tighten it with screw 18. Replace the back-up batteries when the time indication e be- comes weaker and the construction site radio no longer stores the time. Always replace all batteries at the same time. Only use batter- ies from one brand and with the identical capacity. Remove the back-up batteries from the construction site radio when not using it for longer periods. When storing for longer periods, the back-up batteries can cor- rode and discharge themselves.

Working Advice Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery Protect the battery against moisture and water. Store the battery only within a temperature range between –20 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not leave the battery in the car in summer. A battery that is new or has not been used for a longer period does not develop its full capacity until after approx. 5 charg- ing/discharging cycles. A significantly reduced working period after charging indi- cates that the battery is used and must be replaced. Observe the notes for disposal.
