Safety Notes

Read all safety warnings and all in-

structions, including the information 

on the bottom side of the radio charger. 

Failure to follow 

the warnings and instructions may result in electric shock, fire 

and/or serious injury.

Save all safety warnings and instructions for future refer-

ence.

The term “radio charger” used in the safety notes, refers to 

mains-powered radio chargers (with mains cable) and to bat-

tery-operated radio chargers (without mains cable).

Keep work area clean and well lit. 

Cluttered or dark areas 

invite accidents.

The plug of the radio charger must match the outlet. 

Never modify the plug in any way. Do not use any adapt-

er plugs with earthed (grounded) radio chargers. 

Un-

modified plugs and matching outlets will reduce the risk of 

electric shock.

Do not misuse the cord to carry the radio charger, hang 

it up, or for pulling the plug out of the outlet. Keep the 

cord away from heat, oil, sharp edges or moving parts. 

Damaged or entangled cords increase the risk of electric 

shock.

When operating the radio charger outdoors, only use 

extension cords suitable for outdoor use. 

Use of a cord 

suitable for outdoor use reduces the risk of electric shock.

When operating the radio charger in damp environ-

ments is unavoidable, use a residual current device 

(RCD). 

The use of a residual current device (RCD) reduces 

the risk of electric shock.

Connect the radio charger to a mains supply that is 

properly connected to earth. 

Socket and extension cord 

must have an operative protective conductor.

Completely unwind the mains cable when operating 

the radio charger via mains supply. 

Otherwise the mains 

cable can heat up.

Take care that the mains plug can be pulled at any time. 

The mains plug is the only possibility to disconnect the ra-

dio charger from the mains supply.

Protect the radio charger from rain and mois-

ture. 

The penetration of water into the radio charg-

er increases the risk of an electric shock.

Only charge Bosch lithium ion battery packs or lithium 

ion battery packs installed in Bosch products. The bat-

tery-pack voltage must match the battery-pack charg-

ing voltage of the radio charger. 

Otherwise there is dan-

ger of fire and explosion.

Keep the radio charger clean. 

Contamination may result 

in danger of electric shock.

Check the radio charger, cord and plug each time be-

fore using. Do not use the radio charger when defects 

are detected. Do not open the radio charger yourself 

and have it repaired only by qualified personnel using 

original spare parts. 

Damaged radio chargers, cords and 

plugs increase the risk of electric shock.

Do not operate the radio charger on easily inflammable 

surfaces (e. g. paper, textiles, etc.) or in inflammable 

environments. 

Fire hazard due to occurring heat build-up 

of the radio charger during charging.

In case of damage and improper use of the battery, va-

pours may be emitted. Ventilate the area and seek 

medical help in case of complaints. 

The vapours can irri-

tate the respiratory system.

This radio charger can be used by children aged from 8 

years and above and persons with reduced physical, 

sensory or mental capabilities or lack of experience 

and knowledge if they have been given supervision or 

instruction concerning use of the radio charger in a 

safe way and understand the hazards involved. 

Other-

wise, there is danger of operating errors and injuries.

Supervise children. 

This will ensure that children do not 

play with the radio charger.

Cleaning and user maintenance of the radio charger or 

the battery charger shall not be made by children with-

out supervision.

Do not open the battery. 

Danger of short-circuiting.

Protect the battery against heat, e. g., against 

continuous intense sunlight, fire, water, and 

moisture. 

Danger of explosion.

When battery pack is not in use, keep it away from oth-

er metal objects like paper clips, coins, keys, nails, 

screws, or other small metal objects that can make a 

connection from one terminal to another. 

 Shorting the 

battery terminals together may cause burns or a fire.

Under abusive conditions, liquid may be ejected from 

the battery; avoid contact. If contact accidentally oc-

curs, flush with water. If liquid contacts eyes, addition-

ally seek medical help. 

Liquid ejected from the battery 

may cause irritations or burns.

Recharge only with the charger specified by the manu-

facturer. 

A charger that is suitable for one type of battery 

pack may create a risk of fire when used with another bat-

tery pack.

Only use the battery in conjunction with your radio 

charger and/or a Bosch power tool. 

This is the only way 

to protect the battery against dangerous overload.

Use only original Bosch Professional 14.4 V and 18 V 

lithium ion batteries. 

When using other batteries, e.g. im-

itations, reconditioned batteries or other brands, there is 

danger of injury as well as property damage through ex-

ploding batteries.

Read and strictly observe the safety warnings and 

working instructions in the operating instructions of 

the tools that you connect to the radio charger.

Products sold in 

GB only

: Your product is fitted with a 

BS 1363/A approved electric plug with internal fuse (AS-

TA approved to BS 1362).

If the plug is not suitable for your socket outlets, it should 

be cut off and an appropriate plug fitted in its place by an 

authorised customer service agent. The replacement plug 

should have the same fuse rating as the original plug.

The severed plug must be disposed of to avoid a possible 

shock hazard and should never be inserted into a mains 

socket elsewhere.

Product Description and  Specifications

Read all safety warnings and 

all instructions. 

Failure to fol-

low the warnings and instruc-

tions may result in electric 

shock, fire and/or serious inju-

ry.

fied repair person and only using identical replacement 

parts. 

This will ensure that the functionality of the remote 

control is maintained.

Do not operate the remote control in explosive atmos-

pheres, such as in the presence of flammable liquids, 

gases or dusts. 

Sparks can be created in the remote con-

trol which may ignite the dust or fumes.

Initial Operation

Protect the remote control against moisture and direct 

sunlight.

Do not subject the remote control to extreme tempera-

tures or variations in temperature. 

As an example, do 

not leave it in vehicles for longer periods. In case of large

partment on the backside of the remote control and remove 

the battery lid.

When inserting the new battery, pay attention to the correct 

polarity. Screw on the battery lid again.

Replace the battery only with a new battery of the same 

type. 

Danger of explosion when inserting other battery 

types.

Remove the battery from the remote control when not 

using it for longer periods. 

When storing for longer peri-

ods, the battery can corrode and discharge itself.

Keep the battery away from children. 

Children could 

swallow the battery and cause a hazardous situation for 

their health.

Battery Charging (see figure A)

The charge procedure begins as soon as the mains plug of the 

radio charger is plugged into a socket outlet and a battery 

25

is inserted into the charging compartment 

22

 (see “Battery 

Insertion/Removal”, page 17).

During the charging procedure, the 

“CHARGING”

 indicator 

m

 flashes on 

the display. The 

“CHARGING”

 indicator goes out when the 

battery is fully charged.

Due to the intelligent charging method, the charging condi-

tion of the battery is automatically detected and the battery is 

charged with the optimum charging current, depending on 

battery temperature and voltage.

This saves the battery and ensures that it is always fully 

charged when in the radio charger.

The charged battery 

25

 can be removed from the charging 

compartment 

22

 or (when inserted in the charging compart-

ment) be used for power supply during audio operation.

If required, wear protective gloves when removing the 

battery. 

The battery can heat up considerably when 

charging.

Power Supply of External Devices

The power supply of external devices via the 12 V and the AC 

connection is possible only when the radio charger is con-

nected to mains, and not via the inserted battery.

When the radio charger is connected to the mains supply, this 

is confirmed by the lit green control lamp 

4

.

USB Connection

With the USB connection, it is possible to operate and charge 

most devices whose power supply is possible via USB (e.g., 

various mobile phones).

Disengage locking latch 

19

 and open the digital media bay 

flap 

20

. Connect the USB plug of the external device to the 

USB port 

45

 of the radio charger. To start the charging proce-

dure, the external device must possibly also be selected as 

the audio source on the radio charger.

12 V Connection (see figure C)

With the 12 V connection socket, you can operate an external 

electrical device with a 12 V plug and a max. current con-

sumption of 1 A.

Remove the protective cap of the 12 V connection socket 

41

Insert the plug of the external electrical device into the 12 V 

socket outlet.

The 12 V connection socket is protected by a 

fuse

44

. When 

no voltage is given after connecting an external device, disen-

gage locking latch 

19

 and open the digital media bay flap 

20

Unscrew the fuse cap 

43

 and check if the inserted fuse 

44

 has 

blown. If the fuse has blown, insert a new fine-wire fuse 

(5 x 20 mm, 250 V max. voltage, 1 A rated current and quick-

acting tripping characteristic). Screw on and tighten fuse cap 

43

 again.

Note: 

Use only 1 A fuses for a max. voltage of 250 V (

“250V 

1A FUSE FOR 12V OUTLET”

). When using other fuses, the 

radio charger can become damaged.

The 12 V connection is also protected with an 

internal ther-

mal fuse

, which is blown/actuated when overheated. The 

fuse is automatically reset after the radio charger has cooled 

down.

After removing the external plug, reattach the protective cap 

of the 12 V socket outlet 

41

 to protect against dirt/debris.

A/C Connection (“Power Outlets”) 

(not for article number 3 601 D29 660)

Further external electrical devices/tools can be operated via 

the A/C outlets. The socket outlets can vary in consideration 

of country-specific standards.

Time Indication

The radio charger is equipped with a time indication with sep-

arate power supply. When back-up batteries with sufficient 

capacity are inserted in the back-up battery compartment 

(see “Inserting/Replacing the Back-up Battery”, page 17), the 

time can be stored even when the radio charger is disconnect-

ed from the A/C power supply or the battery.

 once.

Working Advice

Temperature Monitoring for Battery Operation

When the radio charger is operated only via battery (no mains 

supply), the battery temperature is monitored.

– When the battery temperature is below –10 °C or above 

50 °C, the temperature warning 

k

 flashes on the display.

– When the battery temperature is above 70 °C, the radio 

charger automatically switches off to protect the battery. 

When the battery has cooled down, the radio charger can 

be put into operation again.

Recommendations for Optimal Handling of the Battery

Protect the battery against moisture and water.

Store the battery only within a temperature range between 

0 °C and 50 °C. As an example, do not leave the battery in the 

car in summer.

A battery that is new or has not been used for a longer period 

does not develop its full capacity until after approx. 5 charg-

ing/discharging cycles. 

A significantly reduced working period after charging indi-

cates that the battery is used and must be replaced.

Observe the notes for disposal.
