Question

 

Can

 

I

 

use

 

a

 

4

 

Cell

 

or

 

5

 

Cell

 

Li

Po

 

to

 

power

 

my

 

Four

Play

 

Pro?

  

Answer

 

 

Yes,

 

you

 

can

 

use

 

any

 

battery

 

with

 

a

 

voltage

 

between

 

10V

 

and

 

24V

 

but

 

the

 

low

 

voltage

 

shut

 

off

  

is

 

set

 

to

 

9.6V

 

and

 

will

 

not

 

protect

 

your

 

battery.

  

We

 

recommend

 

a

 

3

 

cell

 

Li

Po.

 

 

Question

 

Why

 

won’t

 

the

 

POWER

 

LED

 

come

 

on

 

when

 

I

 

connect

 

the

 

Four

Play

 

Pro

 

into

 

my

 

Power

 

supply?

 

Answer

 

 

Either

 

the

 

power

 

supply

 

connections

 

are

 

reversed,

 

the

 

power

 

supply

 

is

 

AC

 

not

 

DC

 

or

 

the

 

voltage

 

is

 

less

 

than

 

9.6VDC.

 

 

Question

 

 

The

 

Four

Play

 

Pro

 

works

 

fine

 

when

 

I

 

charge

 

2

 

batteries.

  

Why

 

does

 

it

 

turn

 

off

 

when

 

I

 

plug

 

in

 

the

 

third

 

battery?

  

Answer

 

 

Your

 

supply

 

voltage

 

is

 

dropping

 

below

 

9.6

 

volts.

  

This

 

could

 

be

 

caused

 

by

 

a

 

supply

 

that

 

can’t

 

supply

 

enough

 

current.

 

 

Question

  

 

Why

 

is

 

one

 

of

 

the

 

CHARGE

 

LED

s

 

red

 

or

 

green

 

when

 

no

 

battery

 

is

 

plugged

 

into

 

the

 

CHARGE

 

RECEPTACLE

?

  

Answer

 

 

This

 

is

 

normal

 

operation,

 

the

 

CHARGE

 

LED

 

color

 

is

 

only

 

valid

 

when

 

a

 

battery

 

is

 

plugged

 

in.

   

 

Question

 

 

Why

 

won’t

 

the

 

CHARGE

 

LED

 

turn

 

on

 

when

 

I

 

have

 

a

 

battery

 

plugged

 

into

 

the

 

CHARGE

 

RECEPTACLE

?

 

Answer

 

 

Either

 

the

 

battery

 

is

 

not

 

fully

 

plugged

 

into

 

the

 

CHARGE

 

RECEPTACLE

 

or

 

the

 

charge

 

rate

 

is

 

set

 

to

 

less

 

than

 

20mA.

  

 

Question

 

 

Why

 

does

 

the

 

CHARGE

 

LED

 

turn

 

red

 

if

 

I

 

move

 

a

 

battery

 

that

 

was

 

fully

 

charged

 

in

 

one

 

CHARGE

 

RECEPTACLE

 

to

 

another

 

CHARGE

 

RECEPTACLE

?

 

Answer

 

 

This

 

is

 

normal

 

and

 

is

 

caused

 

by

 

the

 

slight

 

differences

 

in

 

the

 

charge

 

voltage

 

of

 

the

 

charging

 

circuits

 

used

 

in

 

each

 

channel.

  

The

 

differences

 

are

 

very

 

small

 

and

 

the

 

CHARGE

 

LED

 

will

 

turn

 

green

 

in

 

a

 

few

 

minutes.
