Charging Unit

Place unit on the charger facing outward with the base to the guide. The green light on the charging pad will turn red when it is connected.

The device is charging when it’s green light is on and the yellow and red lights are flashing.

When only the unit’s green light shows, the device is fully charged and ready for use (charging takes 5 hours from flat).

Please note: if the device is completely flat, the device will intermittently flash up lights and then go out again. This is because the device is trying to accrue enough charge to stay powered up. This is normal behaviour; all that needs to happen is for the device to stay on the charging pad for at least 5 hours to gain full charge.


Please note: When a PL is fully charged and left on the charger, there is a built in charger circuit which manages the battery charge. It keeps the battery mostly charged, while trying to maintain the life of the battery. It will generally fluctuate between 100% and 85% charged.

There aren't be any implications for units fitted with the inactivity alarm, this is disabled when the unit is on charge
