You must recharge your PowerCels at least once every 3
months even if you are not using them.
Removing the PowerCel modules from the charger:
1. Gently press down the tab that holds the PowerCel module in
place.
2. Gently slide the PowerCel module up and out of the slide
tracks.
The rechargeable PowerCel module and PowerCel charger con-
tacts should be kept free from dirt and dust. Dirty contacts can
result in PowerCel charger malfunction. Clean the contacts at least
once a month using a dry cotton swab.
If the PowerCel charger or power supply is dropped, inspect it for
evidence of damage or cracking. If any evidence of damage is
seen, the PowerCel charger or power supply should be replaced.
Prior to use, you should inspect the PowerCel charger cable to
ensure that it is not frayed or damaged and that the plug is not
broken. If your power cord appears to be damaged, it should be
replaced.

Inserting the PowerCels modules in the PowerCel charger:
1. Locate the slide tracks on the PowerCel charger.
2. Position the PowerCel module so that the PowerCel contact is fac-
ing the vertical wall of the charger where the pins reside.
3. Slide the PowerCel module onto the charger until it engages.
You can insert up to four PowerCel modules in the charger. The
charger is designed so the PowerCel modules can only be inserted
in one direction.
·
PowerCel modules will start charging automatically. The yel-
low LED indicator will illuminate to signal that charging is in
progress.
·
When a PowerCel module is fully charged, the LED indicator
for that module will turn off.
Note:
If you place a partially charged PowerCel module in the
charger, the PowerCel module may be fully charged in a
lesser period of time. You can remove the PowerCel
module at any time. The PowerCel charger and
PowerCels will not be damaged if the PowerCel modules
remain in the charger longer than the required charging
time.
It is a good idea to use the PowerCel modules on a rotat-
ing basis to maximize PowerCel life. You can label the
PowerCel modules (1, 2, 3, etc.) to keep track of the
rotation.
