AC Charging 

 

WARNING 

Check AC cord for damage prior to use. Never use a damaged or frayed AC cord; 
electrical shock can occur if the AC cord is damaged or frayed. If AC cord is damaged, 
replace it with a new cord before proceeding with AC use.  Improper charging may result 
in serious injury or death. 
 

Charging Your RES-Q via AC 

● Plug the provided AC cord into the back of the unit (see photo); then plug the cable into 

an AC wall outlet. 

● While the unit is charging, a lightning bolt will appear at the bottom of the LCD screen on 

the front of the unit and the six bars of the battery icon will flash from the bottom up until 
they reach the top indicating the battery is full.  

● Wait 10-15 minutes for the battery cells to settle. If you notice the battery indicator drop 

down to 5 bars, keep the unit plugged into the AC charging source and reset it  by 
pressing the on/off switch. Charging will restart, balancing the cells and completing 
charging.   

● When the RES-Q is fully charged, turn off the unit and then unplug it from the AC 

charging source. 

Never leave the RES-Q unattended while it is charging. 
Never let your RES-Q charge via AC for more than five hours at a time. Charging more 
than five hours may damage the unit. 

If the RES-Q is plugged into an AC outlet at the same time it is being used to power an AC 
device, it will continue to function normally and charge during use. However, you must still stop 
charging the system after five hours. 
To speed up charging, you 

can

 charge via AC and DC simultaneously.
