BUILT-IN BATTERY MAINTENANCE
To preserve battery life, the built-in batteries MUST be FULLY
charged before the first use. Regardless of length of operation,
it is recommended that batteries be fully charged as soon as
possible after each use.
AC OPERATION & BATTERY CHARGING
Bigfoot Sound Systems include an automatic charging system
designed to properly charge and maintain the system’s built-in
batteries. To charge batteries, plug the system into an AC outlet.
The BATTERY LEVEL INDICATOR will light when charging. The
CHARGE STATUS led will light bright red which indicates charge
process has begun and green indicates full battery. It takes
approximately 8 hours to charge the completely drained Bigfoot
batteries.
