RECHARGING THE AUTOGUARD:
The AutoGuard can be charged from the 12V battery of the
vehicle through the cigarette lighter as well as from a standard home
power outlet.
TO RECHARGE FROM A VEHICLE-
Plug one end of the 12V Connector
Cord (22) into the 12V Power Socket (08) on the AutoGuard. Plug the other
end of the cord into the 12V cigarette lighter in the vehicle. Unplug when
the Power Indicator Light (16) on the AutoGuard turns green. The battery
capacity could reach 85% after 20 minutes of recharging and 98% after 2
hours of continual recharging.
TO RECHARGE FROM HOME-
Plug the AC Power Adapter (20)
(12V0.5A) into the AC Adapter Input (01) on the AutoGuard. Plug the other
end into a standard home power outlet. Unplug when the Power Indicator
Light (16) on the AutoGuard turns green. Full charge from a home outlet
will take approximately 10 hours. To avoid damage, do not overcharge the
battery.
NOTE:
The standard of 12V/0.5A AC adapter is recommended for use. Recharging
power cannot exceed over 0.78A.

Power Indicator Light (16) on the top of the AutoGuard will indicate the
status of power by showing the light in colors during operation (except
when using the vacuum function).
RED:
less than 40%, needs to be recharged.
YELLOW:
30-50%, needs to be noted while in operation.
