A complete charge cycle takes more than 12 hours. Ensure that the wireless foot switch battery is charged
at least every week. We recommend that you charge the battery at the end of every day, or when the
battery indicator turns red. The battery has built-in safety devices to protect it from overcharging.
The duration of use after charging depends on the model of your foot switch. For more information
about the model types, see
• For the type 1 wireless foot switch, a complete charge lasts for one week of use.
• For the type 2 wireless foot switch, a charge of between 6 to 8 hours provides up to 8 hours of
continuous use.
NOTE
If the battery of the wireless foot switch is depleted within 2 days after a complete charge, contact
technical support for a replacement battery. The battery may only be removed and replaced by a
qualified service engineer.
Storing the wireless foot switch for longer than 12 months without recharging the battery may damage
the battery.
Storing the wireless foot switch for longer than 24 months without recharging the battery will cause
