How To Charge The Battery - Beyerdynamic MCW DIGITAL 200 Notice D'utilisation

5.3 Forming Mode
The LE-D 10 charging units are equipped with a forming mode for the rechargeable batteries inside the microphone units.
The batteries are formed and charged at the factory. If you have not used the microphone units for several months, you
should form the batteries before you set up the microphone units. Do this as described in the following:
• First of all remove all microphone units from the charging compartments.
• After switching on the charger press the buttons in the bottom of the two furthest charging compartments (next to the contact
pins in the round gap).
• Pressing one of these buttons will activate the forming mode for 5 charging compartments. The LEDs will flash rapidly.
• Then put the microphone units into the charging compartments. The LEDs will flash short and long.
• When the green LEDs are permanently on, then the battery is full.
Caution:
Only form empty batteries, but never full batteries!
Do not switch off the charging unit during the forming mode, as this will interrupt the forming mode.
The forming mode will be terminated automatically when the microphone units are fully charged or when the charger is
switched off.

How to charge the Battery

• The charging process will start automatically as soon as the charger has been connected to the microphone unit and to the
mains.
• After the test phase (red LED flashes for about 10 seconds) the charging process is started (red LED (3) illuminates permanently).
Should the red LED (3) still flash, the battery is defective or the discharging process has been started.
• After the charging process, the charger switches automatically to trickle charge (green LED (4) will illuminate permanently; red
LED (3) is off).
How to discharge the Battery
• If the battery is to be discharged before charging, you can start the discharging process by pressing the discharging button (2)
for about 2 seconds. The discharging process, however, should be started after the test phase.
• After the discharging process, which can last in individual cases several hours, the charger automatically switches to charging.

The MCW-D microphone units can be also charged with the
CA 2456 external charger which is connected to the multi-function socket
(1).
Important:
• When the microphone units are charged with the CA 2456,
they are not switched off automatically. Therefore, they must
be switched off manually (or via the MCW-D 200 control unit)
before charging.
• It is normal that the rechargeable batteries are heated up
during the charging process.
• The charging time is around 4 hours when the battery is
completely empty.
