The L 2015 quick charger

The L 2015 quick charger must only be used for automatically = charging BA 2015 ACU packs – individual rechargeable battery cells or primary cells cannot be charged! The BA 2015 accuracy is suitable for units of the Sennheiser ew G2, ew G3, ew G4 series, 2000er series, the system Tourguide 1039 and the System 2015. The bodypack receivers (EK) and transmitters (SK) of the Sennheiser ew G2, ew G3, ew G4 series, and the System 2015 have special charging contacts, i.e. these units can be charged with the accuracy inserted. When placed into the charger, the SK and EK automatically switch off (exception: the EK 300 IEM G2, EK 300 IEM G3 and EK IEM G4 must be switched off manually). The handheld transmitters (SKM) can be charged using the LA 2 adapter.

Operating controls

LED indications

Each charging compartment has two LEDs which indicate the following operating states:

Cascading several chargers

Make sure that the charger is disconnected from the mains.
Unscrew the two screws 8 at the right bottom side of the charger.
Slide the two rails 7 out of the guiding slots and screw them tight using the two screws 8.
Unscrew the two screws 9 at the left bottom side of the second charger.
Slide the second charger onto the rails of the first charger and screw the rails tight using the two screws 9.
Up to three chargers can be cascaded together with the rails and can by powered by a common mains unit.

Setting up the charger

The charger has four plastic feet to ensure that it cannot slip on the surface on which it is placed.

NOTICE

RISK OF STAINING OF FURNITURE SURFACES!

Some furniture surfaces have been treated with varnish, polish or synthetics which might cause stains when they come into contact with other synthetics.

Do not place the charger on delicate surfaces.
Place the charger on a flat, even surface.

Switching the charger on or off

To switch the charger on, insert the hollow jack plug on the cable of the mains unit (mains unit must be ordered separately) into socket 6.
Connect the mains unit to the mains.
All LEDs briefly light up one after the other.

Charging the BA 2015 accuracy

Insert the accupack 10 into one of the two charging compartments 3 as shown. The red LED 1 at the occupied charging compartment lights up.
Charging a completely discharged accuracy takes approx. 2½ hours at room temperature. It is normal for the accupacks to get warm during charging.
After the accuracy has been fully charged, the green LED 2 lights up.

However, the charging process may take longer if:

the accuracy is deep-discharged and first has to be reconditioned by a deep discharge recovery charge,
the ambient temperature is close to or over 40 °C, since, in order to protect the accuracy, the charging process will be interrupted until the accuracy temperature has fallen to an admissible value.

For safety reasons, the charging process will be interrupted and the red LED 1 will start flashing if:

excessively hot ACU packs cannot cool down,
and accuracy cannot be fully charged within the max. charging time of 6 hours, e.g. due to overaged cells.

Charging the BA 2015 accuracy in the SK/EK/SKM

If a problem occurs

If a red LED starts flashing, one of the following errors has occurred at the corresponding charging compartment:

Notes on disposal

The symbol of the crossed-out dumpster on the product, the (rechargeable) battery (if applicable), and/or the packaging indicates that these products must not be disposed of with normal household waste, but must be disposed of separately at the end of their service life. For the packaging, follow the regulations in your country for separating waste. Improper disposal of packaging materials can be harmful to your health and the environment. The separate collection of waste electrical and electronic equipment, (rechargeable) batteries (if applicable), and packaging is intended to promote reuse and recycling and to prevent negative impacts on public health and the environment, for example, due to hazardous substances contained in these products. At the end of their service life, recycle electrical and electronic equipment and (rechargeable) batteries so that their materials can be reused and to prevent environmental pollution.] If (rechargeable) batteries can be removed without destroying them, you are obliged to dispose of them separately (see the product’s operating instructions for information on how to remove the batteries safely). Be especially careful when handling (rechargeable) batteries containing lithium, as these pose special hazards, such as the risk of fire and/or health risks if button cells are swallowed.
