Charging the PS5000M before initial use
Your PS5000M will need to be charged until the Green Full Charge LED
illuminates before initial use. The initial charge could take up to 72 hours.
Do not use the PS5000M as a power source while recharging.
Use the following step-by step guide to recharging your unit.
Standard Recharging of the PS5000M
We recommend leaving the AC charger connected to a 120V AC outlet when the
PS5000M is not in use to obtain maximum battery life.
To recharge the PowerStation internal battery using AC power:
1. Ensure that all elements of the unit are off and that nothing is
connected to the 12V DC outlet.
2. Plug the AC charger cable into a standard wall AC outlet.
3. Plug the AC charger cable into the AC charger access point on the unit.
At this time the red “Battery Charging” indicator will illuminate.
4. Allow unit to charge until the red “Battery Charging” indicator turns off
and the green “Full Charge” indicator is illuminated.
Note: The PS5000M can stay connected to a 120V power source
and will charge automatically.
5. The charge level can be checked by first disconnecting the AC charger
cable from the wall outlet and pressing the battery test button.
Charge your PS5000M after each use.
Note: If the battery is fully discharged, up to 72 hours may be needed to
completely recharge. If you store your PS5000M for extended periods of
time without use, completely recharge at least once every three months.
The PS5000M is equipped with a sensor that prevents overcharging.
