Rechargeable Battery Installation and Use
The unit utilizes a set of long-life Ni-MH batteries for a
portable power supply. Ni-MH batteries feature high
storage capacity and a low level of degradation. This
means that the Ni-MH batteries do not have “Memory
Effect” and thus can be recharged safely, regardless of
whether the battery is fully or only partially discharged.
Fully charge the battery prior to first use.
NOTE:
Before you use the battery for the first time,
ensure that the battery has been charged for at least
eight hours. If you plan not to use the battery for an
extended period of time (one week or longer), we
recommend that you first fully charge the battery and
store it away properly. For longer periods of storage,
please recharge the battery at least once every two
months to keep the battery in optimum condition. Never
short the battery terminals, store the battery in a metal
container, or leave the battery in a humid or damp
environment. Store the battery in an airtight container
with desiccant or other dehumidifying agent. Each full
recharge takes approximately four hours and one full
charge can provide power to the unit for approximately
2 hours. During recharge, the red indicator will stay on.
Once fully recharged, the red light will turn off. At this
point you may remove the wall plug and stop charging.
