BC 10 Battery Charger
WARNING: Do not immerse the BC 10
charger in any liquid or allow water ingress.
The BC 10 Battery Charger is supplied with your detector
and is used to recharge the Li-Ion battery pack. The BC 10
can be powered by the AC plug pack (100-240V AC), and
from typical car (12V) or truck systems (24V), using the
cigarette lighter plug cable or direct battery connection
cable provided. A USB connection is provided for charging
the WM 12 (page 8).

GPZ7000 Battery
The GPZ 7000 standard pack is supplied with a sealed
rechargeable Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) smart battery. This
battery pack is supplied partially charged and should be
charged for up to eight hours to maximise your first use.
The detector will operate for up to eight hours using the
Li-Ion battery pack.
Note
For best results, the battery pack must be
recharged whenever the detector has been
unused for a long period of time.
A battery icon displayed on the Control Panel Status
Bar (page 10) indicates the present charge level, and
provides advanced warning of the need to recharge or
replace the battery. The battery charge level is displayed
in five segments, which will gradually decrease during
operation relative to the voltage left in the battery. When
the last segment disappears, the ‘empty battery’ icon
will begin to flash and the battery low sound will emit
every 20 seconds. If the detector is still operating at this
time the voltage will drop to a point when a ‘low battery’
message will appear and the detector will turn itself off.
Note
The detector regulates the output voltage
so that its performance remains constant
regardless of the charge remaining in the
batteries.
