Allegro CX Owner’s Manual 39
USB/Power Dock ( Optional Hardware)
Using the USB/Power Dock, you can charge the battery pack while it
sits in the Power Dock (the Power Dock must be connected to the AC
wall charger). To charge the battery, complete the following steps:
Plug the AC charging adapter into an AC outlet.
Insert the connector into the external power input jack located on
the back of the Power Dock.
Place the Allegro into the Power Dock. Check that the amber
charging light on the Power Dock turns on, indicating that the
battery pack is charging.
When the batteries are fully charged, the amber charging light on
the USB/Power Dock turns off and the charging circuit switches
into trickle charge mode. You can leave the Allegro in the Power
Dock continuously without overcharging or damaging the
batteries.
Note: A new charge cycle is started each time the Allegro is placed in
the USB/Power Dock. If the Allegro is frequently removed or replaced from
the USB/Power Dock, use vehicle mode to prevent battery damage from
overcharging. Refer to the Using Vehicle Power section of this manual.
External Battery Charger
The external battery charger is a separate hardware device that
charges the NiMH battery pack. The battery pack is removed from
the Allegro and placed in to the external battery charger to be
charged. This is commonly used to charge a second battery pack that
is used as a replacement.
This accessory allows you to charge a battery while it is not in the
Allegro. To charge the battery, complete the following steps:
Place the NiMH battery adapter on the charger.
Slide the battery onto the charger and leave until fully charged.
Refer to the instructions that came with the charger for more
details. (Details on how to remove the battery pack from the
Allegro are located later in this chapter.)
