The charger can consume up to 1.5 A at 100-240 VAC. Check to ensure the mains circuit supplying the
charger is adequate for this loading (especially if several chargers are being powered from the same cir-
cuit). After unpacking the unit:
• Visually check the charger for damage.
• Install the IEC power cord and apply power.
All charge indicators flash momentarily at power up to indicate that the charger is ready for operation.

The gang charger does not have operator controls or a power switch. There is no dedicated indicator light
to show that the charger is powered, but the charge slot LEDs will light.

Each battery charge slot is equipped with four LEDs to indicate the charge status of the battery. When the
EP10 batteries are inserted in the charger, the colour and behaviour of the LEDs associated with the charge
wells in use indicate the status of the charge.

• Slide an EP10 battery, as shown, into each charge compartment until the battery touches the base of
the charge compartment. Ensure that the contacts on the battery meet the contacts in the battery
charge bay.
The 4-LED bar for the battery bay shows 25% charger per LED. A flashing green LED shows charging is
under way. The LED directly below the slot in which a battery is inserted lights up immediately. If the
battery temperature is outside 0° C and 40° C (32° F to 104° F), the LED flashes yellow until the tempera-
ture is acceptable. A fully discharged battery will normally take from 3 to 4 hours to charge. At full capacity,
it turns solid green.
When the battery is fully charged, the charger stops applying power; the battery cannot be overcharged if
left in the charger slot.
Important: Use IEC-320 C13 power cords approved by Psion, with the ground pin connected
to a proper earth-grounded receptacle. Check with a qualified electrician if you are
uncertain of your receptacle grounding.
Important: If you choose to wall mount the charger, detailed installation instructions are
included in the ‘EP10 RV3004 Charger Spare Battery 4 Slot Quick Start Guide’
(PN 8000233) included with the quad charger. Be sure to locate the charger in an
area where there is no risk of injury to persons walking in the vicinity.
