The nickel metal hydride battery technology used in the JETT has exceptional charge life without the
“charge memory” characteristic of conventional nickel cadmium batteries. Partially discharged batteries or
extended periods with the charger left connected will not adversely affect battery life or performance.
Note: Because the internal battery charger senses several conditions, including temperature, you should
charge the unit away from any known or potential heat sources. Units exposed to temperatures in excess of 110
degrees Fahrenheit during the charge cycle may experience incomplete charging and reduced operating
time per charge.
To charge the NiMH battery pack:
1.
Depending on your configuration, plug the power jack of the battery charger/power supply into
the corresponding cables connector and/or adaptors as shown below.

2.
Plug the interface cable into the connector on the bottom of the JETT. If your unit has a power jack
receptacle on the bottom of your JETT, just plug the power jack into that receptacle.
3.
Plug the battery charger/power supply into a power outlet. The Charge LED should turn on,
indicating that the batteries are charging (see Table 3-1).

Once the battery is fully charged (approximately four hours), you can disconnect the AC power
supply and run the JETT exclusively on battery power.
