OPERATION
CHECKING THE BATTERY CHARGE LEVEL
1. Press the charge meter button (Fig. 1).
2. One or more of the charge meter lights should illuminate (Fig. 1).
The number and color of the lights will indicate the current
battery charge level:
• 3 Green Lights = 66 - 100% Charge
• 2 Green Lights = 33 - 66% Charge
• 1 Green Light = 1 - 33% Charge
• 1 Red Light = 0% Charge
3. If the red light illuminates, charge the battery before any further use.
NOTE:
While in use, lithium-ion batteries provide power with
minimal power fade. When the battery is fully discharged, it will
immediately cut power to the unit and require charging.
