Problem Cause Remedy

The power capacity of the device is shown at 100%, but did not fully charge in charging process.This situation can occur when the device is in a semi-state of charge, which is conducive to long-term storage when the device is not in use for long time.Pull out the charge plug, then reinsert.
The device is defective. Contact a service centre.
Nothing happens when switching the device on, display stays dark.Low voltage protection of the device is active and the device can not be turned on.Insert the charger plug into the 9V/2A input port to activate.
The display is defective. Contact a service centre.
Red LED on the intelligent battery clamp at the intelligent battery clamp is flashing.A flashing red LED on the inelligent battery clamp indicates that a safety function is active.See table in chapter “Protective functions” on page 17.
