unit. If this is done correctly, and the battery was low, the control unit status 
indicator will flash red until fully charged. Otherwise, the green status indicator 
on the control unit will illuminate. Charge the unit for a minimum of four (4) 
hours, even if the status indicator on the control unit is showing green

•   The status indicator flashes red when the battery charge is low. Immediate 

charging is required. The normal battery life between charges is  
sixteen (16) hours.
