™ contains a rechargeable lithium-ion battery that can
be recharged at any time. A complete charge cycle requires between 5 to 12

Recharging is done by one of four ways:
1. Via the supplied AC-DC wall mount adapter for an AC wall outlet,
2. Via the DC- DC car charger adapter for a vehicle’s cigarette lighter
socket,
3. Via either the computer USB or retractable USB cable using a desktop
or laptop computer,
4. Via external battery pack.
Option 1: The AC-DC Wall Mount Adapter
Insert the larger USB Type A connector of the retractable USB cable into the
AC-DC wall mount adapter as shown below. Plug the charger into the wall
power outlet.
Option 2: The DC-DC Car Charger Adapter
Insert the larger USB Type A connector of the retractable USB cable into
the DC-DC Car Charger Adapter as shown below. Plug the adapter into the
vehicle’s cigarette lighter socket. If the device does not charge, consult the
vehicle’s operational manual for the exact usage of the cigarette lighter socket.
