4.

There are two ways to charge the Batteries (part #13): (1) using the 120 Volt AC
Charger
 (part #10) and, (2) using the 12 Volt DC Cigarette Lighter Recharger
(part #9).

5.

CAUTION!  Always turn the Voltage Select Switch (part #3) to its 12 Volt DC
setting when recharging the Batteries (part #13).

6.

To charge the Batteries (part #13) using the more effective 120 Volt AC Charger
(part #10), plug the small jack of the 120 Volt AC Charger into the Socket located
on the front of the Power Station.  Then plug the 120 Volt AC Charger into a
grounded, 120 Volt, electrical outlet.  (See Figure C.)

7.

The red LED (part #7) will illuminate to indicate charging is in process.
(See Figure C.)

8.

Press the red Battery Test Button (part 5).  The Volt Meter (part #4) will indicate
the Batteries’ (part #13) charge status.  NOTE: A built-in safety device prevents
overcharging.  (See Figure C.)

9.

Continue to charge until the red LED (part #7) goes out, or the Volt Meter
(part #4) registers 14V or more when the Battery Test Button (part #5) is pressed.
(See Figure C.)

10.

NOTE: Do not stop charging before the Volt Meter (part #4) reads 14V or
more.  
At this point, once the 120 Volt AC Charger (part #10) is disconnected, the
voltage will slowly settle back to read 100%.  This is normal, and indicates the
Batteries are at full capacity.

11.

NOTE:  When the LED (part #7) goes out, charging will automatically stop.
This indicates the Batteries (part #13) are charged at maximum capacity,
and the voltage will then slowly drop back to read 100% as metioned
above.
